For our Parents of Young Children Relax-God put the wiggle in children, and you can rest assured that we are glad they are here worshipping with us. Consider sitting near the front of the church where your child can easily see and participate in worship. Help them follow the service in the bulletin or hymnal, or grab a Quiet Book available in the narthex. These are great ways to keep your child engaged. If your child has questions about worship, one of our staff members would be glad to talk with your child and you. If your child needs a break, feel free to use our parlor, located across the hall from the sanctuary. Parents and children may sit in the parlor and still see and hear the service. A nursery is available during our 11:00 a.m. service for children four years and younger. If you need a quiet place to nurse your baby we have a nursing mother s room right next to the nursery. Both are located though the glass doors toward the education wing. Just ask an usher, and they will gladly point the way.
