FaithKids - where kids grow in Faith!
Please know children of all ages are welcome in worship! However, should your child become restless, Nursery care is available all morning from 9-11:30 for children 5 and under. A Children’s Sermon is part of worship every Sunday at the 9 a.m. traditional service and the 10:30 a.m. informal service.
Christian Education will be held in-between the services (9:50 – 10:30 a.m.) for children and youth during the school year. We closed out the year on May 19, 2024, and will resume classes on September 15, 2024. The dismissal from the service will be noted in the bulletin before the Benediction.
- Children, preschool – 5th grade will exit through the narthex where Miss Dineen will direct you. Preschool - 2nd grade will meet upstairs, and 3rd - 5th grade (Junior Youth) will meet in the library.
- Youth in grades 6-12 will go directly to the Youth Room to meet with Eric and Abby Jezewski.
- Those who typically attend the second service are invited to go directly to their area by 9:50 a.m.
- Parents/adults are invited to enjoy the Kinship Café.
+ Throughout the church year, FaithKids and families will gather at events around food, fellowship and faith-building. Special events include:
Bibles - Kindergartners receive a Spark Story Bible and 1st graders receive a Spark NRSV Gift Bible.
First Communion Instruction - During the season of Lent, we provide a First Communion Retreat to prepare third graders for receiving the sacrament for the first time. (If a child has received communion prior to third grade at another church, they are welcome at the table at Faith.) If a child shows genuine interest in receiving the sacrament prior to third grade, please speak with the pastor about joining the First Communion Retreat.
Vacation Bible School – In the summer, Faith hosts a week of VBS for children preschool through completed 5th grade. Creative and enthusiastic volunteers rally around a fun and faith-filled theme to present important Bible stories and messages to the children who attend.
