Children's Ministry Class: JAM and Jelly
Wednesdays at 6pm
Children will learn how to avoid the mistakes these bad guys made as well as stand against the villains that still attack us today. Kids may not face actual bad guys, but the temptations that come from selfishness and peer pressure still require God's help. Take home bags will be available for this study on Sunday, September 12!
