Children in Worship

It's absolutely undeniable.  Children are obviously  very important to Jesus.  " Whoever welcomes this little child in my name welcomes ME???"  Read More

During our 10:45 service, we are now offering a nursery for small children (under 4 years).  It can be for the entire time or just a “time out.”  While we do invite children to worship and want to make them as welcome as in the presence of Jesus’, we recognize that they may sometimes need a momentary break.  So stop by and see what we’ve put together.  AND if you would like to help with the rotation in the nursery, give DONNA VERHOEVEN a call.   By the way, we also have a pre-school class in TRUE NORTH, so check that out too.

FIRST COMMUNION INSTRUCTION

We are beginning to plan for a class of instruction for children who would like to receive Holy Communion for the first time. If you believe your child is ready for this next step in his or her journey of faith, please contact Pr Duval. He can also provide some material that will answer questions that parents and children often have.

Sunday Morning Spiritual Growth

True North 

.. is our Sunday morning faith development time for everyone, a learning place of grace for God's children of all ages. TRUE NORTH reminds us of the need to guide our lives by Jesus Christ who is the utterly reliable One who guides us.

Lifeline

.. is a small, adult group that meets between the worship services from 9:40 a.m. to 10:20 a.m. The purpose of the Life Line gathering is to discuss topics and genuinely, honestly and confidentially reflect upon God's Word and our life experiences. This is a loving nonjudgmental environment where you can grow in your faith, no matter where you on the journey. Each month we discuss a new subject.

Life Line is a place to ask questions about things in the Bible that you've wondered about but have never felt comfortable enough or been in an appropriate setting to inquire. It's also an opportunity to ponder those things that you maybe have never thought about before or get new perspective from listening to others in the group.

No preparation is required and you can drop-in any Sunday. All are welcome!

Youth Group

Join us for our own celebration each Sunday morning during 'True North' time! The high school youth meet each Sunday in the youth room for great discussions about what's going on in our lives. Stop by to join in the conversation or just listen in!! We love the company, and there is OFTEN something surprising going on!!

BIBLE BASICS SMALL GROUP

You can still join Bible Basics on Sunday evenings: 6:30-8 pm. We’re covering the most important stories of the Bible and doing so in such a way that participants of all ages 11 years or older will find insightful. So if you’ve always been one to say “I just don’t know my Bible very well,” now is the time to do something about it AND participate in the development of our youth. Remember: No Experience Necessary.

A Pause that Refreshes

Each weekday, we send out a brief devotional reading by e-mail. If you would like to have a look, send a note to Pastor Duval and we’ll send one your way.

SOMETHING'S STIRRING 

… in Children's Ministry at WOH! We've got a team that's pumped to plot some new directions. Exciting ideas are stirring and beginning to come together for a fresh new approach to connecting kids (and adults) to God on Sunday morning. Care to know more? Ask around. There's an air of discovery about the place.
