Children, ages 4 through 6th grade are invited to join us as we learn different art techniques, have fun acting out different dramas, and enjoying music through singing, playing instruments and learning hand motions to songs.  We will serve a small snack from 4:00 – 4:10 p.m. each week.  We will divide the children into 2 different age groups: ages 4 – 1st grade and 2nd – 6th grade. All children are welcome to participate; you do not have to be a member of the church.  Cheryl Ortolf will also pick your child up after school at the South Row School.  Please talk to her ahead of time so you can make the proper arrangements with the school.
