Children
When disciples blocked the children, Jesus said let them come. When adults shushed the children, Jesus said we all must become like children to get close to the Kingdom of God. The children teach us how to be joyful, curious, excited, forgiving, just as we teach them faith lessons for life.
“The greatest legacy one can pass on to one’s children and grandchildren is not money or other material things accumulated in one’s life, but rather a legacy of character and faith.”
Children in Worship? YES!
At this church, all children (and all of every child) are always welcome for all of worship. Children enter worship with their families and are welcomed with a play bag of their own. They participate in the songs, readings, creeds, and prayers. In the middle of worship, children are invited forward to a special lesson with one of our pastors. Afterward, children may return to their family or go with an adult volunteer to Kids Korner.
Kids’ Korner
Kids Korner is a dedicated space just outside the sanctuary, far enough away from parents so they can concentrate on scripture and sermon, but not so far away as to worry parents. In Kids Korner, the children take about 20 minutes to share a snack, lesson, and craft or game. After Kids Korner, children return to “big worship”.
