Sermons Worship Music Choir Children's Choir Reader's Theater Dance Banners Windows Font, Table and Pulpit Cross Lectionary Children in Worship Young Disciples | Worship Each Sunday we weave together music, scripture, prayer, meditation, Biblical teaching, and a beautiful space to create a worship service that includes both traditional and contemporary elements. We also include special music, such as children's choir, quartets, harp, soloists, and guitar. We frequently use other media as well such as dance, and reader's theater. Banners and other displays create a beautiful environment for worship. |

| Children in Worship All children are encouraged to attend church with their parents. Activity bags, and a children's bulletin support children through worship. Families also have alternative seating available, with rocking chairs, and room to spread out. For children needing to leave the service, the narthex has seating, and the service can be heard on speakers. All children are encouraged to stay with their parents until after the Time for Young Disciples. Then children under 7 may go to nursery and child care, and children 5 and up are invited to children's choir. | |
| Young Disciples Each Sunday, during worship, children are invited to the front of the sanctuary for a short lesson, and prayer. Lessons are taught by members of the congregation, and our clergy. |
