CHILDREN
While all children are always welcome in worship services, our nursery is also available for children aged 6 weeks to 5 years old. Our nursery is staffed with caring and safety-oriented employees. Please sign your child in upon arrival, and note any allergies or food concerns, as we serve snack.
Nursery
LOCATION: Downstairs in Hart Building
TIME: During Sunday School & 10:30 Eucharist
Children's Chapel is held during the 10:30 am worship service. We will lead children upstairs after the gospel reading and children's sermon. During Children's Chapel, we will sing, hear a Bible story, say a prayer, and spend time in Bible Story-Telling Centers. Our curriculum is aligned with the lectionary, so your child will be hearing stories based on the readings they hear in church. We will bring your child back to the nave during the Peace.

All children K-5th may be dropped off in the Children's Chapel in the Hart Building for Sunday School at 9:15. Together, we gather for a Bible story from the Weaving God's Promises curriculum. Then, children split into a K-2nd class and a 3-5th grade class. The K-2nd class will focus on crafts and games related to the story, while the 3-5th class has a curated curriculum based on topics like the Eucharist and spiritual gifts.
