Baby's Classes (up to 2 yrs): 

Babies aren't overlooked here at Washington First UMC. We know how important your baby is to you and make sure that your baby is provided with a safe, clean, carefully supervised place to play and discover his/her world while you are in classes and worshiping God. Just in case we have a concern and need your assistance, we provide beepers (like restaurant ones) whose primary purpose is to connect us with you and put your heart and mind at peace assured that your baby is receiving excellent care from loving, experienced nursery workers.  Our nursery workers are Sharon Zell and Anna Nichols.
