On Communion Sunday, usually the first Sunday of the month, they will begin in worship as usual, but join their families near the end of the service to participate in Communion.

Our Wednesday Night Program
“The Zone” from 6:45-7:45pm (new time!)
"The Zone" - for 3 years - 6th grade - is an hour packed with activities -  stories, games, crafts, snacks & music.  Parents will register and sign in their kids and then the fun begins!

This fall we will begin a new series "Faithweaver Friends".  Each week we learn how to rely on God and rely on each other.  Want to know more?  (click here for an example of a lesson)

Parents have an opportunity during that time to attend a very casual worship service, using music and discussion as its format.  For more information, check this out.
