Sunday Morning

  • What to Expect on Sunday Morning

    Whether you are attending the 8 am or 10:30 am service, we have a number of ways for your children to engage in worship, scripture, and community.

    All children ages 0-5  are welcome in the nursery which is open from 9 am to 12 pm every Sunday, and in the afternoons for certain events including Catechumenate classes and Nourish Parents’ Brunch.

    Formation classes for children and youth, and the Dean’s Forum for adults, are offered on Sunday mornings from 9:15 to 10:15 am during the program year, from mid-September through April. Scroll for more information.

    For all children and youth, your registration is instrumental in helping us get to know them and meet their needs. You do not need to be members of Saint John’s to register your children and bring them to the nursery, formation, or Children’s Chapel; all are welcome. Please register your children here.

     

Formation for Children & Youth

  • Godly Play

    3 years – Grade 2
    Preschool and Kindergarten in Room 103
    1st and 2nd Grades in Room 105
    Godly Play helps children form faith through wonder, play, and fellowship. Our teachers bring Scripture to life through visual storytelling and invite children to wonder along with the story. Children respond through art and play and share a community feast.

  • Weaving God's Promises

    Grades 3 through 5
    Room 101
    Weaving God’s Promises builds upon the foundation of Godly Play. Continuing the tradition of storytelling, children are encouraged to see themselves within the stories of the Bible; the stories reinforce that all people are loved by God. As in Godly Play, the lesson includes a community feast and prayer.

  • Youth Group

    Grades 6 through 12
    Room 300
    Youth focus on building a supportive peer community in order to help one another navigate the challenges of middle and high school. Like in Weaving God’s Promises, youth explore how they see themselves within the stories of the Bible, but they also are encouraged to openly explore faith and doubt in a safe and welcoming environment.

  • Children's Chapel

    Room 101 at 10:15 am
    For all PreK through 5th graders, Saint John’s offers Children‘s Chapel from 10:30 until the Exchange of the Peace. We focus on the liturgical year and bigger themes in the Bible to help children get ready for our regular service. All children are welcome to worship with us. Children who have already been in Godly Play will be shepherded to Children’s Chapel by Saint John’s staff and volunteers.
