Children’s Time

Storytelling, activities and prayer time follow in a nearby room. Children return to their families after 30-35 minutes, usually for sharing the Peace and Holy Communion (parents of young children are welcome to share their bread with their child. Children of approximately four years and over are invited to preparation sessions prior to receiving the sacrament. Activity responses by the children are shared with the congregation as appropriate.
