EXTENDED SESSION is provided during the 8:30 and 11:00 worship services for 2 and 3 year olds . The 4 year olds and kindergartners attend worship until after the Children’s Sermon. At that point, parents are invited to bring them to the church school classrooms for their own Extended Session.

WORSHIP CLIPBOARDS for elementary children can be found in baskets outside the sanctuary. These are to help children more age-appropriately participate in worship.

GET READY! GET SET! WORSHIP! Annually, in the fall, first graders and their parents participate in a series on worship education, “Get Ready! Get Set! Worship!” The best way for children to learn how to worship is to participate in worship. In order to help children and parents learn to worship well together we offer this worship education program. The series explores different parts of the worship service including communion and baptism.

PARTICIPATION IN THE LORD’S SUPPER in the Presbyterian Church (USA) is extended to all who have been baptized. Each Fall, first graders and their parents participate in a worship education series, “Get Ready! Get Set! Worship!” After completion of the classes children are welcomed with their new understands to the Table on the first Sunday in September.

ACOLYTES are fourth and fifth graders who help lead worship by lighting the candles and then recessing with the light at the end of the service. These children attend a special worship training class.
