Sunday Children's Church
NO Children's Church this Sunday, September 3, due to communion. It is important that our children be present
during this time and learn about this important ordinance.
On September 10, we will resume Children's Church. We are lowering the age range of children's church to what it was
before COVID, but this will be gradual.
Currently, it is available for children from ages 3 through 5th grade. In January 2024, it will be available for children ages 3 through 4th grade. In May, it will lowered to ages 3 through
3rd grade.
In order to help younger children during the service, extra worship activities will be available.

Wild fires have become a life threat in Maui, Hawaii. We pray for those that have lost loved ones as well as property; for the first responders and their families; for the churches that have become the hands and feet of Christ. As brother and sisters in Christ, we are called to solidarity and show our love through support. They ask for our prayers and financial support. Please give generously at: www.cbf.net/hawaii and write “Hawaii fires” in the comment field. |

Once again this year, we will be collecting "nab crackers" [either cheese with cheese or cheese with peanut butter].
