During the school year, we offer Children’s Ministry two Sundays each month. We sing them out to their own sanctuary early in the service, and they return before communion.
On Sundays when we don’t have Children’s Ministry, we invite families to make themselves at home in our sanctuary where children are welcome to participate completely in the liturgy, including receiving communion if they want. There is a children’s area where children (and adults) have the opportunity to play and work on creative projects during the service. There is also a pack-n-play for babies.
All of our Children’s Ministry volunteers have completed Safe Church training, and we perform background checks on anyone who has regular contact with children and other vulnerable people, including the rector and anyone in leadership positions.
At St. Luke’s, we know that children are often making joyful—and sometimes not so joyful—noises. Either way, they are always welcome to be who they are during worship.
