Sunday School - Where and When...

  • Nursery care (ages 0-3) in the Parish Library.
This week children may stay in the atrium/classroom during the entire service until they are dismissed to a parent at the atrium/classroom door. If you would like your child(ren) to join his/her family during Communion, please come get your child(ren) at their respective sacred space.

Next week, the children will come into the church in time to participate in the Eucharist with their families. Click here to read all about our programs for 2013-14.
