Ardmore Kids
All children K–5th grade are invited to participate in curriculum-based learning from Celebrate Wonder each Sunday in room 218 during our worship services! One or two volunteers will walk the children to and from the Sanctuary/Chapel. The children will leave after the Call to Worship (10:00 service)/Church News (11:15 service) and enter back into the service during the Offering.
