Children are welcome at all services. Parents may choose which is more appropriate for the child: participation in the liturgy, Sunday School, or child care. 

Nursery: There is child care in the undercroft for children four years and under from 9:15 am. If possible, please pick up your children at the beginning of communion so that our nursery volunteers may also take communion.  

Sunday School: Classes are held for toddlers through 6th grade from 10:15 to 11:05.  Children ages 3 through kindergarten begin with Children's Church in the undercroft at 10:15, then go to classes for arts and crafts. They return to the nave during communion.  The Sunday School classes for grades 1 - 5 meet in the undercroft and return to the nave at the time of The Peace. The curriculum used is "Living the Good News," which follows the church calendar.
