Care will likely go until 4:30 or 4:45 in the afternoon, but this hasn’t been set in stone yet. When you email me, please let me know if his is something you are interested in. Once I hear back from everyone, I will let the Children’s Ministry know of the number requiring aftercare and we’ll see if we can swing it.
