Children’s Conference:
The Durfey Family, who leads our Awana Program at Bethel, will once again be heading up the children's ministry during the conference. Their curriculum is designed for children age 5-12. Let me just say, the Durfeys are amazing and will make a huge impact in your children’s lives.
If any of your young adult children (age 16+) would be interested in helping out in our children’s program (for some or all of the sessions), please text Karen Durfey at (440) 371-3947.
Nursery:
A fully staffed nursery will be available for children, age of 4 and under.
Adults and Children Must Register.
