The choir leaders will pick up the children from their Sunday School classes and take them to the worship center to sing.
After singing, we will take preschoolers (4 year olds) back to Extended Session, and the kindergarteners will sit with their parents for the remainder of the service. If you would like to have your preschooler remain in the worship center with you, please meet the choir leaders in the lobby area of the ROC after they sing.
