Sunday Programs
Children’s Church

Leading children in Episcopal worship
K-5th grade: 8:50 am & 10:50 am Sunday, Children’s Chapel
During their worship time, children light the candles, pray, sing, have a Gospel lesson and a sermon. Young worshipers have an opportunity to share their fears, joys and daily life events with their leader and offer prayers. At the end of the service, children enjoy worship bulletins where they can apply and reinforce the Gospel lesson of the day.


Sunday School

The new year will start on August 23, 2009 with an Open House.


K-5th grade: 10:00-10:45 am, Learning Centers
Children gather for in-depth Bible studies, using a weekly rotation schedule. Our curriculum nourishes young hearts with God’s Word, helping children to grow in faith and love. Every month we focus on one Biblical character or story. Our Sunday School centers - Solomon’s Cinema, Noah’s Art Room,  Martha’s Kitchen and the Garden of Eden, create an inspiring atmosphere for our young learners.

Wednesday Program
Wednesday Night Kids' Music Club (August - May)
Building friendships through Bible lessons and fun.
K-5th grade: 6:00-7:00 pm Wednesday. Starting in August, children will be divided by age into two groups mixed age groups.
Children  meet here for Bible lessons, games, Christian movies, crafts, music and fun.

Kids Club special events include a Fall Festival, Easter Eggstravaganza (Egg Hunt), Wednesday Night Dinners, Bowling, Summer Outings and more.

 



Children’s Policies

Our staff cannot administer any medication to your children. We ask that children eat breakfast/dinner in the Parish Hall. In order to insure the safety and health of other children, please refrain from bringing your child if she/he had any of the following symptoms within the past 24 hours.

Rules
We aim for all classes to be equally enjoyable for children and their teachers. It may take some time for a student to adjust to a new atmosphere. However, if a child has difficulty concentrating and is repeatedly disruptive to others, a parent will be asked to stay with him/her in the class for some time. We encourage the parents to remind their children of respect when participating in the programs.
