Children in Worship

Your children are welcome here! Find a seat that works well for your family. To help children learn and grow in their faith, we offer several activities and amenities: Activity Bags are located near the Sanctuary entrance. Creation Station is located on the west side of the Sanctuary and is a part of the Children’s Moment each week. Children are encouraged to color a picture and give it as their offering. Nursery is located by the bathrooms at the top of the Newton Street stairs. We offer a staffed nursery at both Sunday services for children five years old and younger. A Changing Table & Child-sized Restroom is located in the Nursery and is available at all times.

A Huge Thank You

to all who helped with the Mission Jamaica Garage Sale in any way, no matter how small you think it was! The sale brought in over $4,000. At this time, we are sharing the J’Abode house for 2020 with Hope Lutheran in Fargo, that’s usually about $1800. The rest of the money will be used when it gets closer to the trip and we know what the needs and projects will be.
