Attention Parents! The Church Activity Bags have been restocked and straightened out. If your child uses one during church, please take a few moments after the service to make sure everything is returned to the proper location (a list of each bag's contents is located on the front of each bag.) This is especially important if your row has more than one bag, as contents are often mixed up.
