K/1 OWL Registration 2026

Church of the River is thrilled to offer Our Whole Lives for Kindergarten and 1st grade children February 1 - April 5, from 11:05am - 12:35pm, if we have enough interest, we'll also offer the class from 9:30am - 11am.

This program requires a commitment of regular attendance by the children, and involvement of the parents in a mandatory orientation, along with reading and discussions at home.

We ask that children miss no more than 2 Sunday sessions. Of course we know that life and illness sometimes happen, and we will work with families regarding unexpected and unavoidable conflicts.

Participation will be limited to 12 children with priority given to Church of the River families. Remaining spots will be awarded on a first-come first-served basis.

A mandatory parent orientation will be held on Sunday, February 1st from 9:30am - 11am at Church of the River. The accompanying children's orientation will take place from 11am - 12:30pm that day. If there are extenuating circumstances which would prevent your attendance please reach out to us.
