Children and Youth
Children, Youth, and Families
Children of all ages are ALWAYS welcomed and encouraged to attend services! We want children and families to be able to worship at St. Paul's in ways that are safe and comfortable for them. The PRAYGROUND is set up in the back of the sanctuary and is available for use during the 10:00 a.m. service on Sunday mornings. You'll find comfortable chairs and a bright cheery floor covering as well books, activities, and crafts to help with the wiggles. There is a changing station and child-sized bathroom located just down the hall from the sanctuary in St. Margaret's Room (Room 109). A quiet space for nursing/feeding/rocking is also available there. There are speakers in these rooms so that you may listen to the service.
Happening Now!
Fall Programming is Coming!
Fall programing is just weeks away here at St. Paul's! Throughout the year we find there are some items we consistently use as well as some special event needs. Could you help support these ministries by donating some of these snacks and supplies for our younger parishioners? A wishlist has been created and will be updated throughout the year with some of our most needed items. If you purchase them from the list linked below they will ship directly to St. Paul's! How easy is that!? Thank you for supporting the Children & Youth in our community!
