CHRISTIAN EDUCATION FOR CHILDREN
Children of all ages are always welcome in worship at St. Mary’s-on the-Highlands. Participation in worship allows even the youngest child to connect to the liturgy. Quiet activities are provided on clipboards for children, found in baskets in the narthex and the connector.
During the summer at the 10:30 AM worship service, children in grades 3K-3rd will begin church with their parents. After the Gospel, they will follow the Crucifer out for Children’s Chapel and return at the Peace.
Kids’ Word (September -May only)-Parents bring children to Room 203 before church. Children will have free play and a brief time of scripture and songs before joining their families in worship during the Peace.
Children’s Chapel-These 1st through 3rd graders begin the service in church with their families. After the Gospel reading, the children are led out to attend a children's liturgy in the chapel. Prayers and songs are shared before returning to their families during The Peace. September-May: grades 1-3. Summer months: grades 3K-3.
