Children
at Saint Gabriel's
Whoever
welcomes one of these little children in my name welcomes me; and whoever
welcomes me does not welcome me but the one who sent me. (Mark 9:37)
Saint Gabriel's is a church where children
are nurtured
in God's love by the whole community of faith, through
Christian
education and worship, daycare, and other exciting
programs. We offer our children a place to grow in
relationship with God, with each other, with their parents, and
with other caring adults who will teach them and mentor them.
Children
are invited to participate in our weekly worship. During the
first part of the service, children ages 4 years old through 6th grade enjoy
Faith Zone, our new, fun, Sunday School program. Kid's rotate
between Story, Craft, Snack and Activity "zones" where the
learning is fun! Children then rejoin their parents at the
Exchange of Peace during the service.
For newborn babies through 3 year old
children, a nursery is available all morning, staffed by
caring, certified, adults.
Family and
Intergenerational events, such as the annual Advent Wreath Making, help children
connect with their families and the values and traditions that are important to
their spiritual growth.
Children belong at Saint Gabriel’s because children are precious to God.
