Kids @ Glenn

“Jesus grew in wisdom and body and in favor with God and other people.” Luke 2:52

Building Lives –
one child at a time

We are in ministry with children and their families – worshiping, studying, playing, serving, and most important of all, growing together in our understanding of what it means for all of us to be children of God.

Worship

Children are wanted and welcomed in worship at Glenn. Children’s bulletins are available at both services, and a special “Time For Children” is a part of every 11 o’clock service. The children also come sit near the pastor every time a baby is baptized. They contribute to our worship on occasion by reading one of the scripture lessons and singing with one of our three children’s choirs.

Ready for Worship!

Elementary Sunday School Learning about Christian Worship! Sundays, now through February 12th (Children’s Sabbath). 1st through 5th graders (and 6th Grade helpers!) will be learning about all aspects of worship – from singing and prayers to our sacred spaces and symbols. A great time to “get plugged in” to Sunday School and Worship – for children and parents to learn about how to engage our hearts and souls in worship.

Safety at Glenn

Our Child Protection Policy requires children to be signed in AND out of activities to ensure their safety. Additionally, children must be accompanied by an adult at all times -- whether in the YAAB, Church School building, sanctuary, or playground. This includes before activities on Wed. Nights. Please remember that our church is an open/public space, so we must take all precautions to ensure the safety of young and old alike.

Kids in Worship Reminders

For your info and to share with visitors: Childcare in the Church School Building is provided for children 6 weeks old through Kindergarten during our 8:30 am and 11:00 am Sunday Worship. Pre-K & Kindergarten children now join us in 11:00 am worship for the opening hymn and Children's Sermon. They return to Extended Care with childcare workers and are signed out as usual after the service ends. A Comfort Room is now available in the Bride's Room on the bottom floor (the back stairwell under the balcony) with a changing table, rocking chair, single restroom, and comforting space.
