Special Events

Children in grades 1–3 are invited to participate in Working on Worship (WOW), a monthly program during the 11 am worship service designed to help young worshippers engage more meaningfully in our worship services. On second Sundays, children will follow the acolyte out of worship for a 30–45 minute session of hands-on learning. Through play, exploration, and practice, children will learn about baptism and communion, how to follow our liturgy, use their Bibles and hymnals, and participate more fully in the rhythms of our services, equipping young worshippers with the tools and understanding they need to connect with God alongside their families in worship.

In our Spring KidsROCK Musical, children (5K–6th grade) will explore what it truly means to be created in the image of God. Through humor, music, and creative exploration, they will discover that bearing God’s image is not about appearance, but about the attributes of God that shine through our lives. The registration fee is $20 and includes a cast t-shirt. Ten weekly Wednesday dinners are also available for $50.

The musical will take place during the Sunday School hour on Sunday, March 15, at 10:00 am in Highland Hall. A cast party will be held on Wednesday, March 18.

Children in first through sixth grade will have the opportunity to stay in the atrium until 11:40 am on the first Sunday of the month. Children will be brought into the sanctuary to take communion with their families.

For Church Leaders, Educators & Ministry Volunteers

If you teach, lead, or care for children in the life of the church, this morning session is for you. Meredith will guide a conversation around how churches can thoughtfully and faithfully nurture children’s faith within the local church. Drawing on theology, experience, and best practices, this gathering invites participants to reflect on how worship, teaching, and shared community life shape faith over time, and how we can approach this work with care, clarity, and hope. Coffee and light breakfast bites will be available.

If you are walking alongside children in the everyday moments of home and family life, this evening session is for you. Together, we will explore how children experience and build faith, along with practical, grace-filled ways adults can support that growth. Drawing from her book Woven, Meredith offers encouragement that honors both the wonder of faith and the realities of daily life, helping adults see their everyday presence as meaningful and formative. Handheld snacks will be available during the reception. Childcare will be available for the evening session and is guaranteed for those who register by Sunday, March 1.
