Lent and Easter Fun at FPC!

We had a wonderful Easter Sunday this week at FPC! We enjoyed confetti fun after worship with some cascarones, and several of our FPC Kids participate in telling the story of the resurrection during the children's moment in worship!

The Easter Egg Hunt was a blast! We were excited about the addition of face painting to this year's festivities!

What a fun experience for our kids to make some stained glass art for Lent!

The Spring Retreat was so much fun!

General Sunday Practices

We now have FPC Kids Ushers!

On the first Sunday of each month, two children ushers will assist with ushering before worship!

K-1st grade: Parents are present for the supervision of their child at all times. 

2nd grade and up: parents do not need to be present. 

Talk to Erin if you have any questions!

Winter/Spring 2024 FPC Kids Usher Schedule
Sunday School is held at 9:45am on the lower floor of FPC! We hold a children's class for PreK-4th grade and a tween class for 5th grade and up.
For parents we offer the Foundations Class on the lower level classroom wing, and the WiredWORD class in the Gathering Room on the upper level.
All children are always invited to wiggle and giggle in worship!

We have “Children in Worship” guiding brochure available at the button below! This brochure is intended to serve as an aid to parents and other members of our congregation in welcoming our children to worship.

Children in Worship
During worship children are invited to join us at the front of the Sanctuary for a time of Wondering with God’s Children. Afterwards, children planning to go to the nursery will be escorted downstairs by Pastor Neeley or Pastor Erin. This is to help you stay in worship and us get them to the nursery safely. If you need help finding the nursery, you are invited to ask an usher to point the way.

​A nursery is available on the lower level of the church for newborns through 1st grade children. We do hope children will worship with us in the sanctuary! Wiggles and Giggles are so very welcome! 

Our nursery is a safe, loving, and nurturing environment for our youngest disciples. 

If your little ones become regular visitors to Sunday School, Worship, or the Nursery, we ask that you fill out the Child Medical Consent Form
Child Consent Form

Thank you to our rotation of Sunday School teachers and Nursery Workers who make it possible for FPC to have such a thriving atmosphere for children!
