Sunday Activities

Nursery
(Newborn - 3 years)
Nursery is provided in the Education Wing during the Sunday Worship services and Sunday School. There is an infant (0-18 months) and toddler nursery (18 months - 3 years). Care is provided by adult child care professionals, aided by several teens. There are many age appropriate toys and games, as well as all the necessities (extra diapers, wipes, bandages) that come with the territory. Upon checking into the nursery, parents are given a pager in the even that their attention is required. The toddlers often share in a snack and craft during this special time.
* If you do not utilize the nursery and find yourself with a particularly rambunctious or fussy child Sunday morning, there is a Cry Room in the back of the sanctuary filled with books, crayons and paper so that you may continue to enjoy the service without fear of disrupting others.
Children's Story A unique opportunity for our youngsters (3 years - 2nd grade) to get special attention from the pastor or guest speaker in a special sermon created just for them. It is held in front of the sanctuary during Sunday worship. Children gather when indicated in the bulletin, usually near the beginning of the service. The children's story ends in prayer and then the children are dismissed to the Education Wing for Children's Church.
Children's Church This is a special children's service of songs, activities and Bible stories geared especially for them. Held during the adult sermon / service, Children's Church is created to reach the children (3 years - 2nd grade) on their level. Teams of volunteers work to share God's love for them. Parents pick up their children in the Education Wing immediately following the Sunday morning worship service.
Sunday School Dutilh provides Sunday School opportunity for children of all ages (3 years - 12th grade). It occurs Sunday mornings between worship services from 10:00 - 10:45 A.M. year round. Classes are separated by ages/grades in the Education Wing making lessons age appropriate. Signs by the room doorways help guide you and your youngster to find the right classroom. Classes journey through the Bible and learn through interactive games, CDs and class discussion.
