CHILDREN

Children
From infants, to preschoolers, to 6th graders -
we love kids at Advent

	Nursery Our nursery is located in the Narthex (the Lobby). Children under the age of three are welcome to stay for the entire service or "drop in" when needed. Children of all ages are always welcome to attend worship!

	Children's Message Children of all ages are invited forward during most Sunday Services to hear a special message.

	Sunday School Classes meet from 9: 30 - 10:30 am from mid September to mid May. Our curriculum follows the lectionary - each class studies about one of the same lessons read during the service. We also hold several all church events during the year, including a Festival of the Palms on Palm Sunday and an End of Sunday School Celebration.

	Wednesday STEPS From mid September to mid May we offer an opportunity for families to gather for mid week activities. Dinner is offered at 5:30 pm, followed by classes for all ages from 6:15 - 7 pm. A family friendly, contemporary worship with a band, communion and a message to help in everyday life, ends the evening. (The worship changes pace during Advent and Lent.) Wee K.O.W.s (Kids on Wednesday): Grade KG & Under gather for stories, songs, games and crafts Happy K.O.W.s : Grades 1 - 6 gather for Hands On games, crafts and cooking (See the Teens/Youth and Adult pages for more classes...)
