Children of Grace

April 10, Sunday, 11 AM. ‘Are You Sleeping?’. The Children of Grace will present a special Easter message during the worship service. Please contact Cas Longo (caslongo@yahoo.com) if your child will be able to participate.

April 16, Saturday, 10:30 AM, Easter Egg Hunt & Picnic Lunch in Aunt Catherine’s Garden. Activities will begin at 10:30 AM.  The egg hunt will be followed by a picnic lunch featuring grilled hamburgers and hotdogs. Children are asked to bring two nonperishable food items to donate to the Caritas spring food drive. Please contact Cas Longo (caslongo@yahoo.com), Director of Children’s Ministry, for more information about this or other children’s events. 

As of Sunday, February 6, Godly Play is being offered during the Sunday School hour. Children’s Church is no longer offered during the 11 AM worship service. Sunday School is from 9:30 – 10:30 AM.  From 10:30 until 10:50 AM, children will have the opportunity to participate in a variety of projects.  At 10:50 AM, all children, ages five and over, will be ready to go to worship.

Children, ages birth to five years, are welcome in worship.  They are also welcome to remain in the nursery during the worship hour. 

We will be offering a special service to parents who participate in choir.  The children whose parents sing in the choir will be taken to the sanctuary to 10:50.  A member of the children’s team will remain in worship with those children until the end of worship. 

If you would like more information about these changes, or if you are interested in helping lead Godly Play, please talk to Cas Longo, Director of Children’s Ministries (caslongo@yahoo.com; 512-589-1046)
