Kids

Nursery
The parish nursery is a loving and safe place for the littlest members of our community.  We staff a paid nursery supervisor who has been referenced and background checked.  Her weekly presence brings consistency to the children’s experience and comfort.  We add an additional adult or teenage babysitter to maintain safe ratios.  

The nursery is open during the 10 am Sunday services.

Pre-School & Kindergarten
Our pre-school  & kindergarten class welcomes children 3-4 years old who are potty trained and current Kindergarteners to class beginning at 10:00 am.  Our 4 teams of teachers lead delightful lessons each week
using the curriculum “Growing in Grace and Gratitude.”   We foster a loving community among the children and their families and send each child out knowing they are loved by God and their parish family.  The preschool class runs the full duration of the 10 am service.

Elementary
We offer a blended experience for kids grades 1 through 5 in a lively classroom setting which begins at 10:00 am.  Using the curriculum “Growing in Grace and Gratitude” we explore the many stories of the bible and their rich meanings for us today.  Through art, games and imagination we build friendships with each other, with God and with our community at large.  Our classroom activities are followed by our movement to the church where we join our families for Communion.

Middle/High School
“The Sacred Donut” is a 30-minute segment that follows the 10 am service in which students explore their week past and their week ahead.  Thought-provoking questions, personal sharing when comfortable, and games are what help us to connect to each other, to God, and to the world.  All this, while consuming a donut or two. The Sacred Donut breaks for the summer and returns in the Fall.

Summer Schedule
We break from our regular Sunday school schedule starting the weekend of Memorial Day in May through Homecoming day in September.  For summer enrichment, families are invited to Splish Splash Family Blast three Sundays spread out in June, July and August.  We begin at noon with a picnic lunch outside and continue with a fun bible skit, art & science activities in the parish hall,  and fun water games on the lawn.  This is an all family member experience designed for kids up through grade 5.  Middle and High Schoolers are invited to help with the skit and table activities.
