CHILDREN’S WORSHIP

A woman with gray hair sits on the floor surrounded by children inside a church. She appears to be speaking to the group. The children sit attentively, listening. The church interior is decorated with golden fabric and plants.

We love having kids in worship at St. Matthew’s. If that morning is particularly difficult for your youngest or an hour is just too long to sit in worship we have some options for their morning with us.

When you first walk into the narthex, to the right there are bags with worship activity sheets and crayons for the children to enjoy during the service.  A return of the crayons would be appreciated.

10 a.m. Worship – Children are encouraged to begin in worship and are invited to go to Children’s Church in Room 116 after the Children’s Message.  This is where parents will pick up the children at the end of the service.
