Families with Children

 Our Youngest Friends at Main Street Church

Children of All ages are welcome and loved in worship. There are activity bags available at the entrance to the church, please help yourself. We realize that some kids get itchy in the pews – there is a small play area in the back corner of the church with a place to walk, read, play. Please let us know if there are other ways we can be supportive for your family being at worship.

 

Kids at Main Street Church

Created, loved and needed by God – and part of a community of many generations. This is what we seek to have our kids know and feel.

We seek to balance opportunities for our kids to experience God’s love with we older folks and with others their age. We support parents in instilling faith practices at home and build on those with Sunday School (when Sunday School returns). Prior to the pandemic, during the school year our Sunday School director coordinates an all-ages learning time for our friends in kindergarten through grade 8. Our curriculum helps our kids connect to our sacred stories through a variety of activities and experiences. Currently we have not restarted Sunday School but we hope to in the near future. If you are interested in helping Sunday School programming return, please reach out to the church office or Rev. Joan.

When Sunday School returns, kids typically start out the morning in “big church”,  all ages worshiping together and after a children’s message – kids go to Sunday School (in the Parish House across the driveway).  The first Sunday of the month, through the summer and on special occasions kids stay the whole time in the “big church” having our worship really represent the whole body of Christ – from infants to 100 plus. There are many ways for kids to participate in the worship service. Do not hesitate to reach out with questions.
