New to our family?

Welcome to our community of faith! We want you to know that wherever you are on your faith journey, you are welcome here! Below are some of the tidbits we hope will help you feel at home here:

• What about my children? Children are an important part of our life together. Therefore, your children are most welcome to remain with you throughout the service. Please feel free to use the rocking chairs at the back of the sanctuary if they are helpful. Your children are also welcome to take part in the following children's activities:
• P.L.A.Y. Time (Positive Learning Activities for Youth) - From September through May, adults share a learning activity with children through 5th grade from 9:00 to 10:0AM while their parents are in choir rehearsal or adult Sunday School.
  
• Children's Time - children through 5th grade come forward for a special message as the congregation sings Jesus Loves the Little Children.
• Kids Quest! - From September through May, following the Children's moment, children age 4 through 6th grade go, with a Quest leader, to room #4 (in the North wing of the building) for Bible Adventures that help the youth grow in faith and relate the Bible to their every day living.
  
• Nursery - Nursery care for children age 4 and under is provided by our nursery staff. The Nursery is located in room #3 (the first room to the right as you head down the South hallway). You may take advantage of this care at any time during the worship service.
• Can I make a prayer request? You are welcome to use one of the pink cards to request prayers for yourself or someone else. They will be collected during Children's Time and given to the pastor or worship leader.
• What about the offering? The offering is a time that members and regular worshipers express their gratitude for God's blessings and share in the mission of this congregation. Please do not feel obligated to give.
• What about communion? All are welcome to share in this feast of Divine Love. We minister to one another my holding the trays for our neighbors as the trays are passed. You are invited to eat the bread as it is passed and to hold the cup that we might drink it together.
• What if I need prayer or pastoral care?
• From the Pastor - Our pastor is available to provide prayer and pastoral care on an individual basis. You can contact her following worship or by calling the office or e-mailing her.
• Stephen Ministers -We have a group of trained lay ministers who are available to provide caring listening and prayer in time of illness or need. Contact Stephen leader Eileen Diercks or Pastor Nancy for more information.
