Dear Children's Ministries Leader: Please note that our goal is to hold trainings and activities for Children’s Ministries on the second weekend of each month. However, due to holidays, scheduling conflicts with speakers, or venue availability, some events may occasionally be moved to the preceding or following weekend. The website calendar will have the most up-to-date information, and we will communicate any changes as they arise.
