Families with children, newcomers, and those interested in a more interactive, high-energy experience may find that this service meets their needs. For more information about this new service, please follow the Celebration Central link. We encourage children to participate in worship with their families. Congregation participants should feel free to keep infants and children in worship with them.
Ushers have pads of scratch paper for the children for drawing or coloring.
Children from inside the Sanctuary and those being cared for in the childcare rooms join in worship for these moments, which offer good humor and important glimpses into God's grace and love. Participants are welcome to stay seated at the dining tables or to move closer to the front during this informal service. Those attending the late morning worship are welcome to stay for coffee and donuts at the Welcome Center close to the Columbia Street doors, at the back of the Sanctuary. In these two places, we welcome newcomers to the church, answer questions, and have time to get to know each other.
