R.O.C. Solid Children’s Ministry Wow! The last year has flown by, and so many good things have happened with our children’s ministry and in my own life! Getting married made this a unique year for both Brian and I, and we are looking forward to being involved at Walnut Grove together. The children’s ministry at Walnut Grove has been reaching kids in several different ways. We changed the time of Jr. YF to match the time of Sr. YF so that parents only have to make one trip to drop off and pick up their kids. We changed the name of our children’s ministry to R.O.C. Solid Children’s Ministry. We had a great VBS that reached dozens of kids, with a Veggie Tales Pirates theme.
