A Day of Celebration of Family!
Our children, ages 5 to 5th grade, prepared a song, “Thank you God, for My Family, “during Sunday School and they shared the song for the opening of the 11:00 am worship service. The children shared their gift to the glory of God and with the congregation.
This was a time for all the children of the church to join together to praise God for the wonderful gift of family. God has provided moms, dads, aunts, uncles, and the myriad of other people who care for us and love us. We joyfully joined our voices together in worship to praise and thank God.
