Children in Worship

At Eastminster, it is our great hope that all of our children will join us in worship with their families. Learning the stories of faith, the parts of worship, celebrating the sacraments, learning the hymns of the faith and passing the peace with our church family are important times in the lives of our children. We believe children learn best from participating in and worshipping alongside their church family. In order to support our children and their families, we provide worship bags for the children to help them participate in the service. We encourage parents to share a bulletin with their child so that they can follow along and participate at their level. Children’s bibles are also located on the bookcase in the back of the sanctuary.

 

All children are also invited to share in a Time with Children during our worship service. The stories and prayers that are shared during this will teach the stories of faith to our children in words that they can understand. Our children also serve as acolytes, communion assistants, noisy offering collectors and also as liturgists on a regular basis.

Summer Reading Challenge

It is hard to believe summer is here! We want to invite and encourage our young children and their families to join us in our Growing in God’s Love Bible reading challenge. You will have a new story for each day beginning June 2. This story bible is fantastic, has beautiful illustrations and each story has a “See, Hear and Act” section to keep conversations going. Our prayer is that this will be a meaningful time for each of you and we look forward to hearing about your experiences with this intentional story time together. Some of our families received a copy of this Bible a few years ago and we have new copies for our newest friends and members.

Special Events

Throughout the year, we provide special learning, fellowship and mission opportunities for our children and their families.
 

Church Nursery/Childcare

We have a nursery for children, infants to preschool age, available each Sunday morning if needed, but all children are invited to worship with us and can share in the time for children during the worship service. Children K and older will worship with their families.
