    We worship on Sundays at 10:30 a.m.

    On the first Sunday of the month, we celebrate the Sacrament of Holy Communion.

    We welcome kids in worship! 2nd graders through adults stay in worship for the whole service. K-1st graders and younger take part in worship through the “Time with Children,” after which they can opt to go downstairs with the child care providers. (Learn more.)

    Nursery Care is available for the youngest year round. (Learn more.)

  • We Welcome Kids in Worship

    "Let the little children come to me." ~ Matthew 19:14

    Our congregation is committed to having children and youth in the sanctuary for the worship service, and we invite them to be worship leaders in various ways throughout the year.

    Children can observe, wonder, witness, absorb and are encouraged to participate in the liturgy of communion. (Learn more about our congregation’s support of kids in worship, here.)

    Activity bags are hanging near the table at the side entrance to the sanctuary if your children want to read, draw or do word puzzles, especially during the sermon.

    The Quiet Corner under the Rose Window is for kids in the Sanctuary who may want to spread out on the carpet during worship with their activity bags and other useful items.

    We have a child potty seat and changing table in the upstairs, all-gender accessible restroom.

    Each fall as part of the annual stewardship campaign, the Board of Stewardship invites a church member to tell some to their own stewardship story.
