Children’s Programs & Events

We offer many programs for children and families with small children. In addition to the opportunities listed below, there are several events throughout the year for the whole family.

We also have a Families with Young Children group. You can learn more about that group here.

 We are always in need of adult volunteers, so if you are interested in helping out or if you have any questions, please contact:

Godly Play

Godly Play is for preschoolers through 5th grade. We meet at the 10 AM formation hour in the Godly Play room across from Damascus. Children learn about Parables, Sacred Stories, and Liturgical Action to discover the depths of God, ourselves, one another, and the world around them. 

Children’s Chapel

Children’s Chapel takes place during the morning worship service. It is our time together to worship, write prayers, and learn about the lesson’s of the day. Little ones up to 5th grade leave during the gospel hymn and return during the peace. During this time we learn about the lessons that are read during the service, talk about our lives, laugh through activities, and write our own prayers that are blessed during the Offertory.

Week of Wonder (WOW)

Week of Wonder is our summer VBS program. It is a week-long summer program for 3 year olds through rising 4th graders  that combines learning, fun, and fellowship for participants and volunteers. The themes vary each year, and volunteers are essential to WOW success. Volunteers from rising 5th graders to adults are welcome and needed.

The dates for 2023 are June 19 – 22 (9 am – 12 noon). We will have a closing program and pot-luck dinner to cap off the whole week on Thursday evening. Everyone is invited!

Nursery

The nursery is available on Sunday mornings from 8:30 until 12:15 to care for children ages 6 weeks through 5 years.
