Mainly Music

Mainly Music is a much-loved, friendly program for babies, toddlers, preschoolers (typically 0–5 years) and their parents or caregivers. Each session is filled with joyful music, singing, dancing, movement, stories, and play—designed to create special shared moments of delight, connection, and learning in a warm, accepting environment.
It’s a wonderful opportunity for young children to explore rhythm, sounds, and actions together with their grown-ups, while building friendships and enjoying quality family time.
Please contact Jill or keep an eye on our Facebook page/newsletter. We look forward to welcoming new and returning families!

If I give everything I own to the poor and even go to the stake to be burned as a martyr, but I don’t love, I’ve gotten nowhere. So, no matter what I say, what I believe, and what I do, I’m bankrupt without love.Love never gives up. Love cares more for others than for self. Love doesn’t want what it doesn’t have. Love doesn’t strut, Doesn’t have a swelled head, Doesn’t force itself on others, Isn’t always “me first,” Doesn’t fly off the handle, Doesn’t keep score of the sins of others, Doesn’t revel when others grovel, Takes pleasure in the flowering of truth, Puts up with anything, Trusts God always, Always looks for the best, Never looks back, But keeps going to the end.
1 Corinthians 13: 3 – 7
