Sunday Evening Nursery Age Limit
It is the Living Word Youth’s joy to watch your children during the Sunday evening service and see them grow! Yet as the Lord has blessed us with many more children, our nursery space remains small. Due to the limited space, it has been necessary to set an age limit for the Sunday Evening service nursery to 3 and under. Thank you for your understanding in this matter as we continue to grow.

Deacon of the Day
This Sunday’s “Deacon of the Day” is Keith Beerbower. Next week: Paul Drees.
