Sunday School

Currently, our children’s program runs twice a month from mid-September through mid-May. On the 2nd and 4th sunday of each month kids age 3 to 12 meet during the sermon for stories and crafts. On the 4th sunday of each month Schooner, our toucan puppet, shares a short message with the whole congregation.

The children in our congregation are active participants in the service and assist with bell-ringing, offering collection and even lay reading. We place great value on kids and love having them with us.

Please be aware that children are allowed to partake in communion within our congregation. We hope that children participating in communion are baptized, but we will not turn a child away. If you do not wish your child(ren) to commune, please talk with your child(ren) beforehand so they are aware of your wishes, and that there will be other children at the service who do commune. Our pastor or a council member would be happy to talk with your family about the Lord’s Supper and to help children understand what is happening. An apple/grape juice is available for kids in place of wine. Any person may approach the communion rail with their hands crossed over their chest (as in the sign of love) to indicate they wish to receive a blessing only.

Moms Group

The Moms’ Group was established in April 2018 with the three fold purpose of providing community, networking and support for young moms in the area around Wilhelmina. It is very important to find support from others who are in the same stage of life as well as from others who have “been there, done that”, who are willing to lend a hand or a listening ear.

Mom’s group meets most Friday mornings from 10: 00-11:30 in the church kitchen. We provide a space where the moms can visit, have coffee and snacks while their children play. Open to all moms and kids.
