Christian Formation for Children

Sunday Mornings

SUNDAY Story begins FALL 2023

The Sunday Story incorporates stories from the Bible, lessons on church traditions and seasons, interactive play, and art experiences to offer children age Pre K to 5th grade the opportunity to explore our faith. Children in this large age range find ways to help and learn from one another, encouraging them to become ministers to their friends. We hope your child will become a part of this community of young learners at 9:30 AM on Sunday mornings in the Godly Play Classroom on the 2nd floor.

Nursery Welcomes Little Ones

St. Andrew's Nursery is available from 8:15 AM until 12:15 PM every Sunday for children, from infancy through three years old, and is located on the first floor just beyond the Oak Table Room. Our professional caregivers provide a safe and caring environment to nurture our youngest children, have been trained in safe ministry practices, and passed reference and background checks. Along with age appropriate classroom materials, we offer Seasons of the Spirit Bible stories and activities for toddlers. 

Children’s Chapel

During the 10:30 AM service, following the children’s sermon, children are invited to follow the cross to the Chapel of the Good Shepherd for an age-appropriate discussion of the scripture, recitation of the Apostle’s Creed, Prayers of the People, and Confession before returning to the sanctuary at the exchange of the peace. Participation in Children’s Chapel is completely voluntary, and parents are welcome to accompany their child if they wish. There is no expectation that all children should leave for the sermon and prayers, it is simply an option for those parents and children who feel it is more appropriate for their child to take part in this “preparation for worship.”
