Children's Chapel
Children’s Chapel is held during the Sunday 10:30 a.m. service each week, and welcomes children, ages 4 through 5th grade. Children should remain in the sanctuary until the processional hymn and watch for the director of Children's Ministries to walk down the center aisle. At that time children may join her and walk to the Children's Chapel located on the cloister. Children’s Chapel is led by two Safeguard-trained adults. At the Peace, children will be brought back to their families in time for Holy Communion.
