Holy Week Journey – March 28, 2021
On March 28, we had a Holy Week Journey for families outside on our River Terrace path. With over 16 volunteers and eight stations, over 50 people got to experience the events between Palm Sunday and Easter. At the end they received a copy of the devotional that accompanies the stations on the path, and an Easter goodie bag! It was cold and windy but we had a wonderful time. Please enjoy these pictures of the event.

Promiseland Nursery
Child care is provided for ages infant through age 4 during all worship services, Sunday classes, and mid-week services, in the Promiseland Nursery on the lower level. Our well-trained workers will help each child feel comfortable, happy, and secure. We believe it is possible to share the love of Christ with children from the day of their birth.

Where Kids Grow in Christ
The Greenhouse takes what goes on in the adult worship service and modifies it for children with fun, age appropriate activities. Kids learn how to worship at their own level.
All kids, ages 5 through 4th graders, are invited to the Greenhouse. Kids will be dismissed just after the Children’s Blessing during the service.
