TCITP Children
Children are a high priority in God's heart.
It's part of the "least, littlest and last" principle Jesus teaches us.
TCITP has LLL people at the center of our heart too!
Therefore, we desire to provide excellent childcare during Children's church.
In the book of Matthew, Jesus had much to say about the "least, littlest and last"
Here are a few versus to take to heart...
