On the fourth Sunday in the month, we shall have an all-age service of Holy Communion at 11 a.m. at Kirkland Mission Church with opportunity for children to participate, and no sermon.[It will be all change again just for March, because this year, the second Sunday in March is Mothering Sunday, and we'll have our traditional All Age service with messy interlude, while all-age Holy Communion will be on the fifth Sunday in March, which is Easter Sunday.]
