NURSERY & CHILDCARE:  9:30-11:30     Upstairs Hallway on the left. 
Parents are free to bring their young children to childcare at any time.  

CHILDREN BEGIN IN WORSHIP EVERY WEEK:  10:00                    
Children will go to their class after the “Time with Children”   COMMUNION SUNDAY :
Students in grades 1-8 will remain for the entire worship.  Preschoolers will go to class after the “Time with Children.”  The Childcare Room is available to youngsters at any point during the worship service.  “Worship Wiggler Kits” are available from the Deacons at either door to the sanctuary.  These kits have coloring and writing materials for any age. Remember, there are special Bulletins for younger and older children.   NURSERY/CHILDCARE   is for infants, toddlers, and children who are more comfortable there than in worship or Sunday school.  Childcare is available from 9:30-11:30.  It is located in the back hallway on the left.  Anna and Laetitia are our childcare providers.  They are students at WNEC and have prior experience with care giving.  

PRESCHOOL is for children from 3 years old through kindergarten.  Children mature at different rates.     We want them to enjoy their time at church.   Placement will be where the child is most comfortable.  

FAITH WORKSHOP (Formerly called Sunday School)  is currently a multi-aged class.  All 1st through 8th grade students are welcome to participate.  Our curriculum is Bible based and “kid friendly.”   It is designed to engage many learning styles and a wide range of ages.  Older children will also have opportunities to shepherd the younger ones.  Multi-aged learning is often preferred to age grouping as it breaks down age barriers, builds community, models family life, and it offers leadership roles to kids.   We are committed to creating sacred time not “school time.”  We want to engage children wherever they are on life’s journey.   There are two adult leaders for each monthly unit.
