Childcare during COVID
As of March 22nd, 2021 we have updated our childcare plan to this. Please feel free to read below on what our plan was before this current change. We want to see you on Sunday mornings. We know that many of you want to see us on Sunday mornings as well but the lack of childcare has made coming on Sundays impractical. So, after much consideration, prayer, and planning, we have decided to re-start childcare on Sunday mornings, starting on…
