WORSHIP 

Children of all ages are invited to participate in worship. At the entrance to each worship space, a station with quiet activities is available for all ages to help support focus and meaningful engagement in worship in a variety of ways (i.e. coloring pages, fidgets, holding crosses, sound-sensitive headphones, etc.). Please return materials following worship.

​

During worship, children are invited to the front for a Children's Moment which is a brief message told through story and prayer. After the Children's moment, they are welcome to return to their seats to stay in worship or they can go with our faith formation team members to our Godly Play Sunday School on the lower level.

​

Childcare is also available for infants through preschool age on our lower level. 

​

If you are uncertain whether Childcare or Godly Play Sunday School will be the best fit for your child(ren), please reach out to Lisa Kaufer, our Director of Faith Formation and we will work together to support your family's unique needs.

​

CHILDCARE 

Families with young children are offered multiple options during Sunday morning worship.  Children of all ages are welcome to remain in worship. A quiet room with the worship livestream is available (on the main level between both worship spaces) for caregivers who may benefit by viewing worship from this space while a young child plays.

​

Weekly childcare is also available for infants, through preschool age, on our lower level.

 

Diaper Changing Stations are located in the men’s and women’s restrooms in the Gathering Space as well as in the family bathroom in the gathering area of the lower level.

​

GODLY PLAY

​During the school year (September-May), children in preschool through elementary school are invited to participate in Godly Play Sunday School.  After the Children’s Moment, children are welcome to return to their seats to stay with their families or they can go with our faith formation team members to our Godly Play Sunday School on the lower level. Following worship, children are escorted back to their parents. (For more info on Godly Play click here.)

 

On the first Sunday of each month, and also during the summer (June-August), we take a break from Godly Play Sunday School. We want to especially include children and youth as important members of our faith community as we celebrate the sacrament of Communion on the first Sunday of each month.

 

Children are welcome to remain in worship or participate in expanded childcare on the lower level anytime Sunday School is not offered.
