Lamb’s Offering

Beginning next Sabbath, May 2, our children will have the opportunity to worship God by presenting their offerings to the Lord just before the Children's Homily. This is one way of teaching our little ones faithful stewardship even at their young age. A miniature church will be placed in front where children can drop their Lamb's Offerings. Parents are urged to prepare with their children for this act of worship. Thank you.
