Are You A Part of
Children's Ministry?
The
Children's Ministry Department is an integral part of
Linworth and we continue to provide opportunities for
all children that enable them to grow in their Christian
faith. These programs are necessary for the life and
growth of our children and adults. This ministry is always looking to involve new families in various ways to help serve the children of our community. Weekly, bi-weekly, monthly, yearly opportunities
are available for everyone. These opportunities range
from teaching, cooking, set up, clean up, planning,
committee members, music, snacks, storytelling, puppetry,
or sharing any special talent you may offer to the program.
The children count on adults to help them discover new
things about God, and we too hope we can count on all
adults to serve in this time of need. Please contact
Beth Pearonto discuss how you can help serve Children's
Ministry!! |
