Splash! program. Designed to support your role as parents in the faith formation of your child, so we will be gifting you with several age-appropriate Christian books to help bridge the gap between Baptism and Preschool Sunday School.
We hope you will spend time reading these books with your child, as a practical (and fun) way to fulfill your baptismal promise to raise your child in the Christian faith. Your final book will include a letter about our preschool Sunday school program. When your child is ready to begin attending Sunday school, preschoolers will also be presented with a My First Bible as part of our Milestone Ministry during one of our worship services. |
