Anniversary Open House for Kirk & Judy Jensen
Join us for a celebration of our parents’ milestone of 40 years of marriage! Please come & go between 3-5 pm at Okoboji Brewing Company this Saturday, June 16th.

Children’s Church is our beloved summer alternative worship experience designed for students Pre-K through 4th grade during the month of June. Immediately following the children’s sermon in the sanctuary, children will be invited to follow an adult leader to our Christian Education wing to participate in a time of songs, Bible lessons, music, and games. Students will be served a snack just for them immediately following Children’s Church, and parents can pick up their student at the end of the hallway in our Christian Education wing following worship. As always, parents who desire to keep their students with them to worship are encouraged to do so and our regular Sunday School time will resume in September.
