BRING YOUR KIDS INTO THE WORSHIP SERVICE

There are lots of children at Minnehaha. If your child cries during the church service, no big deal. It happens all the time. Kids make noise. Everybody knows that.

CHILDCARE IS AVAILABLE SUNDAY MORNINGS

Sunday mornings from 8:45 a.m. to 12:15 p.m., children 0-5 years can come to the nursery during worship and/or faith formation hour. And all parents of young children (0-5 years) are invited to have coffee and treats during the 10-11 a.m. hour. We visit while the children play with Anna, our childcare attendant.
