Walking Wet is for our youngest members (Birth to age 3) and their parents. We share tips and resources via monthly videos and in person play dates on how to easily incorporate faith conversations and rituals into daily routines. Play dates help our little ones and their parents connect with others in the same stage of life and have face to face conversations about their faith.
