Children

We welcome children in worship and believe that the participation of children in worship is essential in their spiritual development.  Through the sights and sounds of the worshipping community, children learn the faith  "that lived first in your grandmother Lois and your mother Eunice" (II Tim. 1:5) and will live in them.

Each Sunday our children are invited to participate in Sacred Space, which is a time in our worship service when they pastor "wonders" with the children about one of the great stories of faith.  At the center of Sacred Space is a candle; it is lighted as the children arive and, before the children leave Sacred Space, they are invited to hold the candle and say a prayer.

After Sacred Space, the children attend an Enrichment Class which follows the theme and scripture from worship. 

 Because Holy Communion is a sacrament of the entire community, the children always return to worship for communion.
