CHILDREN'S MINISTRIES OVERVIEW:


SUNDAY SCHOOL CLASSES are offered for three-year-olds through 5th grade on Sunday mornings from 9:30 a.m. to 10:20 a.m., September through May. Our children learn the Good News of Jesus Christ via Scripture, tradition, reason, and experience; the foundations of the Anglican tradition. We have a highly trained and experienced group of dedicated teachers.


CHILDREN'S ACTIVITIES DURING WORSHIP SERVICE
Children's Church

Children's Church is a liturgy designed for ages 5 through Second Grade and is offered each Sunday during the program year. Children enter the worship service with their parents; leaving after the first Collect and returning at the Peace. This enables parents time to concentrate on the liturgy of the Word and lets the children hear the words of scripture on their level.

Every Sunday these activities or resources are offered to our children:

  • The Sunday Papers designed for early elementary children to read and complete and are available each Sunday.
  • During baptisms, children are invited up to the altar to view the baptism.
  • A coloring packet with crayons is available in the basket at the rear of the church each Sunday.
  • A Nursery staffed by volunteers is convenient and available for children from 0 through age 4.

Mutual Blessing - The relationship between adults and children is so fundamental to the health of both that Jesus shows and tells us about being a blessing to children who in turn bless us by showing God to us by their presence.
