Children's Christian Education
9:15 AM - 10 AM- Every Sunday
​For Children through fifth grade

​Children’s Christian Education is adapted from Lesson Plans That Work, a curriculum published by The Episcopal Church. The plans follow the Revised Common Lectionary.  Children hear the story of the Gospel reading for the day and participate in various activities such as coloring sheets, hands-on crafts, and often act out the story to help them understand the lesson. We have a fun time in CCE learning about God’s love for us and sometimes sharing what we have learned with the adult CE class.

​Nursery during 10:30 AM Worship
The nursery is available during worship for children up to first grade.  Children enjoy coloring, playing, and a small snack during this time and usually go to Communion with their families.  Nursery staff includes a certified childcare specialist, plus a volunteer.
