Everyone is welcome - we have kids from preschool to middle school participating in the fun! ​ Nursery Program on Sundays from 9 am to Noon Infants, toddlers, preschoolers, and younger elementary kids are welcome to come and play with our nursery team on Sunday mornings as their parents/guardians participate in classes, worship, or even just enjoy a cup of coffee in Good Shepherd Hall. ​ Sunday Worship at 10:30 am (and MVPC Nursery for Infants, Toddlers, and Young Children) 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! For those of you coming to In Person Worship, the kids and youth are welcome to use one of the worship activity bags. MVPC welcomes the joyful noises of families worshiping together either in the Sanctuary or, if your family prefers, in the Fireside room where there is more room to run around with comfortable couches. ​ Youth Group on most Sundays from Noon to 1:30 pm Youth in Middle School and High School are invited to be a part of the MVPC Youth Group that meets most Sundays after worship for a time of food, fellowship, and faith.
