|
We believe that all Christians are called to grow in faith and understanding and that the spiritual journey is never-ending. Children comprise almost a third of our congregation and their spiritual perspectives, as well as their questions, are taken seriously. Our teachers are eager to provide our children and youth with the best tools to grow in their love of God and neighbor. Nursery: Nursery care is provided for infants and toddlers during the 10:00 a.m. service. Our sound system carries the service into the Lounge area (just outside the back door of the church, near the nursery) in case you need to leave the church temporarily to comfort a crying child or prefer to nurse your baby there. Sunday School: Class One is for younger children (beginning at age 3) and is designed for children who are getting used to being in a classroom setting. Class Two is for children in early elementary school and uses multi-sensory materials are used to help in telling the Bible story of the day. Class Three is for older elementary school students and Class Four is geared to children in middle school. Both classes use the Episcopal Children's Curriculum, and go deeper into topics such as the Bible, the Sacraments, and the life of the Church. Sunday School ends in time for the children to join worship in the church and celebrate Holy Eucharist with their families. Pilgrims’ Choir: Directed by Sandy Summer-Parks, our Children's Choir (Kindergarten through 6th Grades) rehearses every Sunday at 9:00 a.m. in Colwell Hall and sings during some Sunday services, as well as performing at special events like the Christmas Pageant and our celebration of St. Barnabas Day. Children's Outreach Projects: We offer several opportunities throughout the year for children to take part in sharing God’s love with others. We send care packages to our parishioners away at college, bring Christmas cookies and carols to homebound seniors, and make Easter baskets for needy children.
