Worship Explorers

For children in 1st-3rd grades

Next session: Sunday, April 11- Sunday, May 2 

Worship Explorers is a class for our children in 1st-3rd grades to help them begin to understand how and why we worship in the Presbyterian Church.  In addition to exploring the different parts of worship, this year the children will be learning about the liturgical calendar, working to memorize the Apostle's Creed and the Lord's Prayer, and the special seasons and special days in the church. The class will take place during the 11 a.m. worship service beginning right after Children's Time and ending during The Affirmation of Faith (about 20 minutes).
