Week 18

Advent season is definitely upon us. Our class has been very busy practicing for our advent services. The kids have been doing a great job and are all very excited to show off their hard work to everyone--next Wednesday at 10am and 7pm:) For the 10am service wear regular school clothes, and for the 7pm service, please wear nice church clothes. We will meet in the church basement at 6:45 and you may pick up your child from the welcome center after the service.
