Children
Jesus said, “Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these.”
Letter from Fr John
Children's Nursery & Sunday School
We offer a fun, faith-filled time for our children each Sunday morning. Bring your children to the Upper Room before 10:00 a.m. worship. They will meet new friends, engage in age-appropriate activities, and enjoy a snack. If you wish, we will bring your children down to the church in time to receive Communion. Otherwise you may pick them up at coffee hour (the Upper Room is a large open space.)
Tell me more about Sunday lessons for children. . .
Chelsea, our children's leader, plans activities to fit the needs and personalities of the individual children already in the program while at the same time adapting the lesson to children new to the program.
Blurb from Chelsea
Chelsea plans different activities each week. Each week is different. And she is open to ideas from parents.
