We encourage families to attend two hours of activity on Sundays; one hour of worship and one hour of Sunday School. Your child may also attend one hour of worship and one hour of Sunday School or two hours of Sunday School. If preschoolers attend two hours, each period will have a different team of teachers and they will be involved in different activities that center around one Bible story. Even though the bible story will be the same and repeated, the children will learn through repetition.
