Children and Youth
Christian Education
Sunday school begins at 10 am and is held September through May, followed by worship at 11 am. Parents are asked to please review our Health and Safety Guidelines. If you are new to us, please complete our Children and Youth Registration. If you have completed this in previous years, you don’t have to do it again. But please let us know if your contact information has changed.
For questions or information related to Christian Education, please contact Jenny Newman at Jennyrunew@gmail.com . Please see below for additional forms and safety guidelines.
Nursery Care and Extended Session
We believe that children are a vital part of our worshipping community and welcome them in worship. We understand that sometimes it can be challenging for children to sit through an entire service, so infants and toddlers are welcome in the nursery at any time. Preschool through 3rd-grade children are welcome to attend the Extended Session during worship following the Passing of the Peace. Extended session is held in the large Sunday school room on the second floor. We invite and encourage all students to remain in worship with their families on the first Sunday of each month when we celebrate Communion.
Our church nursery is located on the second floor, and nursery care is available each week at 10 a.m. until the conclusion of the worship service.
Sunday School
In our Sunday school classes, we are currently using lectionary-based curriculum from Feasting on the Word along with children’s story Bibles and other resources. While our current classes bring together children and youth across a range of ages, we value age-appropriate learning and will create smaller age-based groups whenever participation allows.

Acolytes and Water Pourer
Pouring the baptismal water and lighting the Christ Candle are a vital parts of our worship service. There is a sign-up sheet for Sundays in the narthex of the church for children and youth are interested in being a part of the service in this way.
