Worship

LAST SUNDAY FAMILY WORSHIP

The last Sunday of each month is our more informal Family Worship Sunday when children kindergarten and up remain in worship with their parents instead of being excused to their own program. Engaging music, a children's message, thematic worship packets and often activity stations are available to engage them in the message and scripture for the for the day.

NEW THIS FALL is our Family Choir. Families of all ages are invited to show up at 8:30 on Sunday morning to learn a simple and but fun song for that morning’s worship service. No experience is necessary!

WORSHIPPING WITH CHILDREN AND YOUTH

We value our children and believe that it is important to incorporate all ages into worship and the life of our congregation. View our “Worshipping with Children and Youth” brochure to see suggestions for parents and congregation on helping our children learn how to worship.

Picking up Children after Worship

Parents, we would love to have you join us for fellowship after worship! For safety reasons, children should be picked up in their classrooms. We will no longer dismiss children without a parent present. Please pick your birth-4th grade children up and join your church family in Fellowship Hall or the Outside Patio.
