To Contact Them
Children's Chapel
During the 10:00 service children go to Children's chapel prior to the sermon where they have the opportunity to engage in age appropriate learning with Bible stories that relate to the Episcopal church calendar, liturgy and their personal lives. Each week they learn a story that they heard in the worship service and participate in a creative avenue (such as a craft or game) to further help them understand the lesson. We hope this will grow the relationship they have with Christ and the church. The children re-join the service during the peace in time for communion.
The teachers in the Children's chapel are all volunteers who have undergone training.
