Rainbow is a mid-week program of fellowship and activities for children in kindergarten through grade 6. We gather most Wednesdays, October through April, for recreation/creative arts, music (children’s choirs), and a family-style meal. Through it all, and superseding any specific content, we seek to put into practice what it is to be the church and to treat one another as children of God. For more information about Rainbow or any of our children’s programs, please get in touch with Director…
