Pre-K to 5th Grade


Sunday Morning Opportunities

Prayground invites the littlest among us to experience worship upfront in a space designed especially for them. Soft toys, books, and more are available.

Nursery is staffed during the 10 AM worship if a child needs a little more wiggle room.
Parents are always invited to stay with their child and are welcome to use the nursery during services when it is not staffed.

Activity Bags filled with crayons, coloring pages, and books are available in the Narthex and outside the door by the pulpit. Children are invited to keep busy seated in the pew.

Children’s Time happens at 10 AM worship or when we have a 9:15 AM Worship. Children are invited to the front of the church to hear a message specifically geared for them – the rest of the congregation often participates.

Children’s Church  is after the Children's Message, where toddlers to fifth graders leave the sanctuary during the Word part of the worship (Readings, Message, Creed, and Prayers) to worship in an active and engaging way. We meet around a child-sized altar, and our worship is led by the children, who serve as acolytes, crucifers, and readers, with assistance from a teacher. Our Bible story is brought to life with a creative activity or game. Children return during Sharing the Peace.​
​

​Wednesday Night Live (WNL)
Wednesday Night Live activities are for children in Kindergarten - grade 5, and are held on Wednesday nights from 6:00-7:00 PM. Children participate in choir and educational activities each week. Educational programming reinforces Sunday's Bible stories, and helps kids go deeper in learning about themselves and God. Children's choirs participate throughout the year, offering music in worship, and each spring, they share their talents and perform a musical.

​WNL Dinner (optional) is at 5:30 PM and the cost is $3/meal.


Children's Choir
Children's Choir (grades PreK-5) rehearses on Wednesday nights in conjunction with Wednesday Night Live activities from 6:00-7:00 PM.  This choir sings in worship throughout the year, participates in leading worship during Advent and in the spring. 
To register, please contact Stephanie Luedtke
