Children's Chapel
Children's Chapel offers a worshipful transition from the nursery to full participation in the regularly scheduled worship services. It is optional for children starting at 3 years of age through third grade. Parents are invited to attend also. Chapel is offered during the 10AM Service (except on Baptism days and other special services in which children benefit from staying in the service with their church family). The Gospel reading of the day, reflection, children's creed, and prayers are done during chapel time. Offering is collected and the children pick different outreach projects to support. All children rejoin their families during the announcements for participation in Holy Communion.
Godly Play
Godly Play is on Summer hiatus. It will start September 12.
Godly play is for children pre-K through 1st grade on Sunday mornings from 10:15 to 11:00 am. Children learn the classic rhythm for living modeled in the Bible: a balance of action and reflection, engagement and prayer. The heart of Godly Play is to creat sacred spaces, to build and work in community, to learn religious language and to use that language to make meaning.
