Outdoor Sunday School Begins October 26th at 10:00am
Outdoor Sunday School is our Sunday School program for the fall of 2021. Classes are offered after the 10:00am service and before the 11:00am service for children aged preschool through 5th grade. It’s our goal to support and encourage kids through God’s love one child at a time. Classes are fun and engaging, with a focus on learning Bible stories through arts and crafts, songs, and games through nature. From the Creation Story, to the Parable of the Sower, engaging the Bible through tangible experiences. That means water, soil, plants, rocks, and seeds! We also know that time outdoors can provide a place to unwind engage in spiritual formation in new ways.

Please contact Maureen at mcarey@sdlife.org for more information and to volunteer. (Fall Sunday School follows both CDC and Diocesan guidelines). Drop off and pick up with take pace outside on the lawn in front of the church.

Each week in Sunday School this month, the children are exploring both the meaning of Advent, the candles and what that means to them along with learning about the story of Mary and Joseph. Listen to their stories here.

Children in Worship

Every Sunday at 9 a.m., our contemporary worship engages kids with upbeat music, a brief children's sermon, and welcoming atmosphere. Your child will be a part of worship while parents don't worry about saying "shhh."

Baptism

We welcome all to the font and support you and your child in this faith journey. There is an opportunity for baptism each month (except during Lent and Advent). Contact us to find out more or ask about scheduling a baptism.

Sunday School

We are excited to offer a new year-round Christian education program for children beginning at 10:10 am in the preschool (ages 4+ – 5th grade). Each week’s lesson will incorporate hands-on activities, an actionable challenge, and a reproducible parent page for further interaction at home.

Other Ministry Opportunities

Children are an essential part of St. David's Christian covenant community. There are opportunities to serve in worship as an acolyte in choir and more. Children are also a valued part of our other ministries such as outreach. We will help your child feel welcomed and comfortable as they learn their gifts in ministry.
