  • Acorn Bible Art Class

    This group is possibly the cutest group ever!  These kids join us on Friday mornings.  It's attended by Acorn Academy children (2-5 years old) interested in learning about Jesus in a fun, relaxed atmosphere, they get to listen to a scripture reading and participate in a small craft. We love hearing them around the church especially when they sing around the piano with Pastor Robb.
