Kids and Childcare
Families and kids are welcome! We value being an intergenerational community and are seeking ways to both integrate and prioritize kids in our liturgy. Our Godly Play services are an especially intentional effort to do this as a church; to deepen kids’ spiritual formation and experience of God and to do so without separating them from the adults.
Though we don’t quite yet have specialized kids’ programming every Sunday (pray for us!), we are increasingly featuring designated kids’ time during our services. This time is open to anyone ages 4-12. We have been using The Peace Table which is a good, accessible contemplative Bible for children. Kids’ time is led by an adult in a separate room and includes:
- A fun icebreaker
- A brief time of silence (taking some breaths) to prepare to hear the Gospel story
- Reading the Gospel aloud from The Peace Table
- “Wondering and Sharing” time based on questions in The Peace Table
- Guided prayer from The Peace Table
