Cradle Roll is a program for children from newborn to age 3.   It consists of a series of mailings sent at regular intervals the parents of these young children.   These mailings will help parents teach their child to know God’s love by reading Bible stories, picture books, singing songs about God’s world and Jesus, and saying simple prayers.   Besides giving specific suggestions regarding the child’s Christian growth, the Cradle Roll materials emphasize the importance of the parents’ own spiritual lives.

Nursery/Child Care - The Nursery is staffed on Sunday mornings during the 9AM service to help "Build the Family of God Through a Relationship with Jesus Christ" by providing a loving environment where children feel safe and wanted, while allowing parents some uninterrupted time to grow in their relationship with God and be in community with other believers.

"Oh, when the saints go marching in.   Oh, when the saints go marching in.   Lord, how we want to be in that number.    When the saints go marching in."

The ELCA triennial National Youth Gathering in New Orleans is fast approaching!   We appreciate all the support you have given to us already, but we are quickly approaching the finish line and have not met our financial goals yet so we need more support.   We are holding the drawing for the Mother's Day Shopping Dash this Sunday, May 6th during the 9am worship service.   Thank you to everyone that participated.   The actually shopping Dash will be held on May 12th at noon located at Mentor Family Foods.   Please come join us to cheer on the winner.   Be on the look out for a Chinese auction in the Narthex on May 13th and May 20th.    We will hold the drawing for the winners of the Chinese Auction on May 27th.   On Saturday, May 26th the youth will be having a car wash!   Stay tuned for further details.

"Oh, when the saints go marching in.   Oh, when the saints go marching in.   Lord, we WILL be in that number.   When the saints go marching in."
