Godly Play

Children 4 and up are invited to participate in Godly Play during our program year (September - May). Children start the service with their parents and will be led out during worship with their teachers and will return in time for communion.

Children in Worship

We welcome all children to remain in worship if they wish. We have a soft space in the front of the church for little ones that need space to move during worship. 

8:00AM & 9:30AM
 

Baptisms

 

The Sacrament of Baptism is open to everyone from the youngest babies to the oldest adults. At Emmanuel Church, we offer Baptisms 4 times a year: Easter Vigil, the Day of Pentecost, All Saint's Day or the Sunday following, and the Feast of the Baptism of our Lord (the First Sunday after the Epiphany).

​

Please contact our Rector, Rev. Elizabeth Riley, if you're interested in getting you or your children baptized!

Formation

 

In addition to Godly Play, there are many opportunities for children to grow spiritually at Emmanuel.  For example, they can learn with their families at home with Lent-in-a-Box, learn to pray with older members of our congregation during intergenerational formation hours, serve as an Acolyte* on Sundays, or join our Choir School. Subscribe to our newsletter, the eBell, to keep up to date with all these formation opportunities! 

 

*Please contact Katya Nemec, our Children's Minister, if you are interested in having your children trained to become Acolytes.
