NORTH

At North Church, we celebrate kids! The body of Christ includes everyone, and that means kids, too! Church isn't church without kid noises, reminding us that they are the church of the future.

 

We do our best to create a space where kids can share life and learn the faith together. It’s a safe space, so each kid gets to decide the level of their own engagement. If something that we’ve planned isn't working for a kid, we make it possible to do something else.

 

Sunday School registration and classes begin in September with Rally Sunday and follows the public school schedule, wrapping up in June with a festive Summer Sunday Kick Off. Every lesson begins by reciting the Lord’s Prayer together. Then we read a Bible story and ask questions about what that story means to us. We follow the common lectionary as best we can. There’s always an activity to reflect a little further on that day’s story-crafts or games of all kinds.

 

For our children who prefer to stay with their families during the worship service, ‘Busy Bags’ can be found in the front and back of the sanctuary. These fun activity bags contain coloring pages, books, and crayons for kids to use while enjoying the service. During special services, like Palm Sunday and Easter, when there is no Sunday School, we offer fun Children’s Bulletins and activity pages for them to enjoy during the service. But the nursery is always open as well!

 

There is a restroom just outside the sanctuary with a changing table. If your little ones are chatty or squirmy and you are uncomfortable, feel free to walk around or do what is best for you and your child. Explain what's going on to them, and if you aren't sure how to explain, ask Pastor Sandy after worship!

​

Our children enjoy hosting Coffee Hour in our parlor occasionally, and helping with activities for the younger children as well. We have an amazing sense of church family at North Congregational and would love to share it with you!

 

Volunteers to assist with Sunday School, or caring for our littler ones in the nursery, are always welcome!

​

Wherever you are on life’s journey,

YOU AND YOUR CHILDREN ARE WELCOME HERE!
