CHILDREN’S WORSHIP
This school year children (4 years to Grade 2) are learning about how we worship God on Sundays and every day with a three-week lesson unit on each part of our worship service. On the last Sunday of the unit, students will complete an art project expressing that element of worship.
Adoration Unit (on Nov. 5, 12 & 19)
We say to God: “I love you” (part of the Story of Worship)
