Ways for Children and Youth to participate in the worship service

Acolytes
Each fall 4th-7th graders will be invited to participate in worship through the acolyte program.  Training will be given for this important portion of worship.

Youth Opportunities
The first Sunday of the month is youth Sunday.  Youth provide the music (The Youth Choir) and act as Lay Readers for that Sunday. 

Children's Opportunities
Celebration/Cherub Choir sings on the 2nd Sunday of each month.  Children grades 1st-6th are all welcome. 

8th Notes (beginning fall 2005) will sing when there is a 5th Sunday of the month.  Children 3-5 are all welcome.  8th Notes will rehearse durning for the first 10 minutes of the Sunday School Hour. 

Children are always welcome in worship.  Now available in the Narthex are Worship Bags.  The bags are hanging in the narthex on the cross.  The bags are divided for ages 2-4 and 5-7 with appropriate activites for worship.  The bags contain: crayons, stickers, paper, books, and activities for the children to use while worshipping in church.  As always a nursery is available for children birth-5 years old.  Pagers are provided for the parents.
