The usher will give offer you a bulletin packet, which includes a Communication Card, Devotion and special announcements.
Children are welcome to be with their parents throughout worship, or they may go to Sunday Circles after the second song, or after Communion on Communion Sunday. Someone from the Youth an family Team will lead the way. Children age 3 and under may be in the nursery with a childcare person.
