Approximately 125 children are registered. We continued having the children in church with their families for the first 15-20 minutes of each service. They then go directly to their own classroom. During the first Sunday of the month, the children have remained in worship through the offering before going to children's worship, and the 4 th - 8 th graders have stayed for the entire worship service. We continue to be blessed with Norma Darow who does the children's worship once a month.
All classrooms have Bibles for the children to use.
We continue to give Bibles to all second graders and those older children who have not received one. We encourage the children to bring their Bibles with them every week. Vacation Bible school took place in July of 1998 using Gospel Light's SonLight Island curriculum. We had 71 children from preschool through 5 th grade attend this 5-day program. There were a variety of learning experiences which included story telling, skits, crafts, games and snacks.
