Children and Youth Formation
Church of the Advent welcomes children, youth, and families to be a full part of our community life. When we say all are welcome at God’s altar, that includes all ages! Nursery care is offered September through May, but we always embrace the noises and wiggles of infants and toddlers in our worship.
Church School
With the help of our teacher, Donna Baker, PreK-3rd Grade children grow in faith, experience themselves as God’s beloved, and build a supportive and loving community.
From September through early June, we meet Sunday mornings at 9:30am. We begin with prayer, followed by a Bible lesson. We learn about the Old Testament’s heroes and prophets. We talk about the Parables Jesus told his friends to illustrate the love God has for us and the ways we can share that love with others. We finish with a craft to help remind us of the story of the day. Children return to the Sanctuary to celebrate the Eucharist with the full congregation.
This year's theme is Courageous and Bold People of God. Dates for the second half of 2024 are September 15, 22, 29; October 6, 20, 27; November 3, 17, 24; and December 8, 15.
