Here at Hope, children are included in all aspects of church life.  We don't consider them the future of the church, but the church of right now.  Special programs just for 3-year-olds through 5th graders include Sunday School at 9 a.m. during the school year and Vacation Bible School, led by over a dozen adults and another dozen of our youth.  For VBS, which happens each year the last full week of June, the church is transformed into a wondrous space of imagination as a community is formed to share the truth of God's love through action-rich sing-a-longs, experiental Bible stories, thematic snacks, science-y explorations, and group-building games.
