    Church school is a space for kids in grades K-5 to connect with one another, learn about the Bible, and grow in their spirituality. Children will gather in the sanctuary for worship with their families at 10:00 a.m. Following the Heart to Heart part of the service, they will be brought into the educational wing below the sanctuary for planned activities. They will return to the sanctuary to join in the final hymn at the end of worship.
