Home / Children & Youth
Family Holy Eucharist
Children and families are invited to worship at 9:15am on Sundays in the Parish Hall. We create an open space for children to move freely and safely, to engage in the Episcopal traditions and join in songs and prayer.
​
The worship service is a brief 40 minute service with communion. We use words that are accessible to all ages, and tell a story each week relating to the assigned lectionary scriptures.
​
The children are invited to participate in any and all parts of the service that they feel comfortable doing. Older children are invited to read the gospel story, and younger children can help set the altar for worship. All the music is simple tunes that are led by one of our parishioners and the clergy.

NURSERY CARE
We offer nursery care for infants and preschool age children during our 10 am worship service.
CONFIRMATION
Confirmation is a sacrament where those baptized as infants or adults without the laying on of hands by a bishop make a public affirmation of their Christian faith and recommit themselves to their baptismal vows with the laying on of hands by a bishop.
