 We started our videos  in January 2021, when we were unable to meet in person. Now that we are able to meet more easily, and with Advent and Christmas  approaching, we're taking an indefinite break with Children's Church  to help us focus on other offerings for children and families. We want to say a HUGE thank you to all who have helped over the last year; whether that's been through crafts or prayers, talks or stories, it has been a great offering for our church community and we couldn't have done it without  you.
