Sunday Worship at 10:30 am for ALL AGES (plus Nursery and Godly Play Programs)

Families of all ages are invited to participate in Sunday Worship at 10:30 am In Person or on Zoom.  Gather where your whole family will be comfortable.  Allow your youth and kids to color or draw while they listen and participate in worship.  Encourage them to ask you questions, wonder, and talk about what they noticed in the worship service.  It's a great time to connect and help your kids grow in their faith!  We hope that families always feel welcome:

-Kids and Youth are invited to use one of the Worship Activity Bags located outside of the sanctuary doors.

-Younger Kids are invited to sit at the Kid's Activity Table for a "just the right size" chair and space to worship.

-Families are invited to Worship in the Sanctuary or in the Fireside Room right outside the Sanctuary.

-Godly Play Kid's will be invited to the Godly Play Program during the Prayers of the People on most Sundays.

-The Nursery is open from 10 am to Noon every Sunday.  Feel free to bring your little ones back anytime.

​

The Nursery ~ Sundays from 10 am to Noon and Special Services and as requested by Programs and Events

Infants, toddlers, preschoolers, and elementary kids are welcome to come and play with our Nursery Team on Sunday mornings while their adults enjoy worship.  Plus, there's a Summer Nursery Program during June, July, and August.

Godly Play Kid's Ministry Program ~ most Sundays during worship (Kicks off 9/15)

Elementary aged kids begin in Worship with their families and then are invited part way through the service to the Godly Play Program where we share, wonder, and engage in our faith through storytelling and creative reflection.  On 1st Sundays the Godly Play Kids remain in Worship with their families for the story and communion.  No GP holiday weekends.  Talk with Pastor Rebecca if you would like to learn more about this wonderful program for your kids and get a tour of the room.​
