Children
At St. Mary's we LOVE children, and we are committed to help them grow to be passionate followers of Jesus Christ!

Sunday School
St. Mary's Sunday School is designed for Kids from Age 5 - 5th Grade. Children attend Church with their family, leaving for Sunday School after receiving Holy Communion (approximately 10:45am). Parents are invited to enjoy coffee hour as their children complete Sunday School instruction. This year, we will explore Children's E-100 beginning with essential teachings from the Old Testament.

Nursery
St. Mary's provides a nursery and play area in the Parish Hall (the stage area) designated for parents and young children. It has a play mat, plenty of toys, a rocking chair and more. (There is a changing table available in the bathroom at the rear of the Church). The worship service is broadcast to a television in the children's area, so mothers and fathers can still follow along with the service. But young children are VERY WELCOME in the service. A little extra noise just adds to the fun!

Acolytes
Children ages 8 and up are invited to become an acolyte (altar boy/girl). Acolytes assist the priest during the Sunday service in a variety of important ways. For more information, see Mother Sue.
