On this Sunday (27 March 2022), children and youth religious education classes will resume in person and will happen during our 11:00 AM worship service.
We will resume our pre-COVID practice where the children and youth will join us in the sanctuary for the first 15-20 minutes and then we will sing them out to their classes.
If your child does not want to go to class, that is also OK — our services are welcoming for all ages.
We will be starting out initially with two classes grouped by age / grade:
Elementary – Pre-K – 5th Grade (Teachers: Ashford McLain and Kevin Henry) — Our theme is “Peace, Social Justice, and the Interdependent Web.” Initially, the goal is to bring the children back together, play some games to get to know each other again, check in with joys and concerns, and begin to plan a service project.
Middle and High School (Teachers: (For This Sunday) Ken Peterson and 2nd Teacher) — The group will check in, catch up, and discuss issues concerning a certain problematic figure whose name is on the wall of their meeting room, and what they may want to do about it. In the coming weeks, they will also be deciding on and planning a social action project.
Note — We have not yet brought back nursery care for our littlest members and visitors who cannot yet be vaccinated for COVID. However, babies and toddlers are welcome to stay with their parents in the sanctuary. We are very understanding about baby sounds in worship.
