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.
