Christian Formation | Children

All children are welcome to participate.

On Sundays, Nusery Care is offered for infants and toddlers and Sunday School is offered for children in Pre-K through 6th grade. Our nursery and Sunday School classrooms are located downstairs and in the Church library. Please ask an usher or a greeter to direct you.

Our Sunday School depends upon our parent teachers. To help teachers feel confident and prepared, we consult an age-appropriate curriculum and offer a library of resources in our church office. The clergy also meet regularly with teachers. If you would like be part of a teaching team, contact the Rev. Andrea Martin.

Sunday Morning Nursery Care is provided every Sunday by certified caregivers for infants and toddlers during our 10:00 a.m. service.

Sunday School — Pre-K

Pre-K Sunday School (Ages 3-5) begins with a gathering craft or activity and then moves to a children’s chapel format with age-appropriate singing, prayers, and stories. Children return to the main service to receive communion with the larger congregation.

Sunday School — Summer

Generally, there is no Sunday School in the month of June, but on Sundays in July and August, St. Patrick’s parents offer SumSun (short for Summer Sunday School), a more relaxed Sunday School format during the 10:00 a.m. service for children in Pre-K through 6th grade.
