During the summer months, our children and youth religious education activities are a mixture of fun and creativity.
Our children and youth will continue their summer art activities in our new church home.
Now that we are in The Highland Center, our children and youth will be using Maggie’s art studio downstairs for their summer fun art activities and will continue religious education classes in this location in the fall.
This will allow the group to keep art supplies in this space and also do messier activities than if they stayed upstairs in the small conference room.
As we have done in the past, our children and youth will still join us for worship in the large conference room for the first 15 minutes or so before they are dismissed to their activities.
Parents and caregiver adults who wish to see where they will be going are invited to take the trip downstairs with the group where they can either stay in the class or come back upstairs to worship.
