Baby and Child Dedication:
Throughout the year, and especially on Mother’s Day, the Babies of Grace are presented by their parents to the Lord in a precious act of dedication. The church family stands together with these parents, to dedicate ourselves as well, to be the faith family each child needs. Raising up spiritual children who are giants in faith is a sacred obligation to which we joyfully commit without reservation. On Sunday, May 10, in conjunction with Mother’s Day, we will be having child/parent dedications during the morning worship time.  If you have a child you would like dedicated to the Lord, please call the church office at 925-2671.

Baptism Walk-through:
This is a time to ‘demystify’ this important step of obedience in the journey of faith.  [In the New Testament, after belief comes baptism – check out Acts 2:38 and 41.]  We walk through the process of being baptized, investigate the baptistery, and talk through any questions presented. Parents are encouraged to join us.

Children’s Christmas Worship:
GraceKidz are not confused about Christmas. During this family service, our Pre-School through fourth graders and their parents celebrate Christ’s birth through music, drama, and the true Christmas story told differently each year. It’s an old-fashioned/high-tech blend of worship and fun as the little ones sing, bigger kids serve, and we end the hour with a Birthday Party for Jesus…and yes, kids get presents too!

Easter Eggstravaganza
On Good Friday our doors open from 10am-12pm to kids ages 4 through 4th grade with a parent/guardian for a fun-filled and faith-based celebration of the Resurrection! A special Easter story in the Sanctuary ensures that children know the true reason for this season. Next the kids are challenged to create a craft to remind them that Jesus Lives! The highlight of the morning is the Easter Egg hunt outside the campus for the big kids, and in the gym for the little ones. We end our Eggstravagnza with great snacks as the kids and parents of our neighborhood enjoy ‘Grace hospitality’ in a relaxed time of fellowship.
