Family Sunday
During Family Sundays, we will ONLY have our nursery classroom open. It's the perfect opportunity for parents and children alike to worship side by side, creating lasting memories and fostering a sense of unity.
But that's not all! Family Sundays are also a chance to give our incredible volunteers a well-deserved break. They work tirelessly week after week, and this special day allows them to rest, recharge, and return with even more enthusiasm to serve our community.
