Family Ministry

While we have always had families and activities for our whole congregation, we are now hoping to coordinate our mission statement
with the various needs and activities of our children, youth, young adults, adults and senior adults in a more meaningful way.  Those
areas that have a separate page are listed below.  Other activities like Bible Studies, Sunday School, WOW classes have activities for
 each age group as listed on other pages.

Ice Cream socials, concerts, Movie nights, plays, softball games etc are scheduled periodically and will be listed in the Call.
