What opportunities do children and youth have to learn about and to practice worship?
All of our children and youth, even our toddlers, recognize the flaming chalice, the symbol of our free faith, and the age-appropriate, chalice lighting ritual begins or ends every Sunday School session. Children in Grades K-6 attend Children’s Chapel, a worship service of song, story, offering, discussion and silence, for part of one Sunday School each month. Third and fourth graders serve as chalice lighters for all sanctuary services. Our Coming of Age class (Grades 7-9) and/or our Junior Church (Grades 10-12) create(s) the congregational worship service once each year. One Sunday each month school-age children attend the entire sanctuary worship service with their family and friends. The intergenerational service’s sermon and liturgical elements are intentionally created and selected to respect and engage the range of ages within our faith community.
