Scripture Snacks
Scripture Snacks are individually wrapped snacks donated by our congregation on the second Sunday of each month.During Children's Church the children tape a scripture to each snack. Some of the snacks are taken to Piedmont Medical Center and placed in the surgical waiting room for family members to enjoy while waiting and some are sent to the Boys and Girls Club of Fort Mill.

Activities include creative play, music, art, stories, cooking, visits from community helpers, and hands on learning experiences that involve age level appropriate concepts in numbers, letters, shapes and colors.WEE School has classes for children who are 2, 3 and 4 years old.
