All children are always invited to wiggle and giggle in worship! |
|
Included in worship is a time of "Wondering with God's Children" where children are invited to come forward for a message. Afterward, they are invited to remain in worship or go downstairs with the nursery workers for the remainder of service.
Worship Bags are available for children on the rack outside the Sanctuary in the Narthex.
During Worship, we invite our children to look for our FPC Church Mice! Our Church Mice will teach us about worship each Sunday!
|
|
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.
|
|
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! |
|
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. |
