Temperature checks will be done on all participants, teachers, and volunteers at these entrances for Sunday School at 9:00 or the 10:30 worship service.

After entering the facility through one of the two main entrances, parents may bring their preschool children (birth-K) to the PVS kids welcome area for check-in or their elementary children (gr. 1-5) to the Awana Room for check-in. We will have childcare for birth through one year of age and Sunday School classes for two years old through 5th grade. Parents of infants thru Kindergarten may escort their child to the nursery/classroom but will not be permitted beyond the doorway. Children, grades 1-5, will be checked-in and stay together as a group for Sunday School in the Awana Room.
