FAQ

  • When will practices be?

    Practices will be every Sunday during regularly scheduled Kids Ministry Classes, with one additional rehearsal on Saturday, December 13th to walk-through their staging in the auditorium from 9am-12pm. Speaking parts will start practice at 9a, all school-agers at 10a, and all pre-k at 11a.

  • What should my child wear for showtime on Sunday, December 13th?

    Please feel free to wear a cute Christmas outfit; we will have some additional costuming provided.

  • What time should we be there for showtime on Sunday, December 13th?

    Plan to arrive 15 minutes prior to the first service time, which will mean arrival at 9:00am. This will allow us time to get everyone in-line, costumed, and ready to roll.

  • How will having two services affect the Kids Christmas Spec?

    We are asking families to consider staying for their kids to perform in both service. To give you an idea of that proposed schedule, it would mean: 9:00 call time, 9:15 first service starts, 9:25 kids' first show, 9:40 kids dismissed to Christmas party in the kids ministry wing, 10:15 pick up kids to visit with grandparents, guests, etc., 10:45 second call time, 11:00 second service starts, 11:10 kids' second show, 11:25 kids dismissed to Christmas party in the kids ministry wing (families invited to pick up and depart if desired).
