Sunday School. During the school year there is Sunday School for children.  The children attend the beginning of the service with their family, then depart for Sunday School (in the Church Center) following the "Children's Message." On the first Sunday of every month, the children are the "greeters" and they stay at the entire service to learn more about communion (and to partake of it, with their parents' permission).  (More...)
