Grades 1 - 6 :
These children sing during the 10:00 a.m. worship service several times throughout the year.  Twice a year, at Christmas and in the Spring, these children present a musical at the 8:00 and 10:00 a.m. worship services.  Following music, children ages 1st-6th grade will meet with volunteers to work on committing scriptures to memory then begin a weekly rotation including Bible Story, Willing Hands Kids Club, and Games.   The children have the opportunity to earn awards as they dive into God's word.  We are always looking for wonderful volunteers who love to guide young people through their adventure into the Bible.
