Sunday Morning Overview

Our Sunday morning programs are designed to enable children and their families to get the most out of church.  Beyond attending Sunday morning worship, children's church and formation on Sunday mornings equip children and families with the tools they need to ask and explore difficult questions of faith and and grow in their relationships with God and their neighbors all week long.  

​The vast majority of families with children at All Saints' attend the 9:00 a.m. worship service, during which an age appropriate children's worship service is available on the 2nd floor of the Pritchett Center.  Children are strongly encouraged to stay for Children's Formation (Sunday School) during the 10:20 hour.

The guiding principles for nursery care begin with our commitment to offering loving, safe, compassionate and Christ-like care. We work to intentionally create a place where the love of God and Jesus is lived out in ways that will help every child want to return again and again.

At the present time we offer first quality nursery care for children of ages two and under. As our children grow older we add content to the time they spend in our care. The Sunday Nursery Director and the paid staff are supported by volunteers in many ways.  Visit the Volunteer Village to learn more. 

Children's Church
Kindergarten through 3rd Grade, September - May
Gathering starts at 8:40 a.m., in advance of 9 a.m. Service 
2nd Floor, Pritchett Children's Center

Each week children in kindergarten through third grade gather in the children's chapel for a kid-friendly church service designed to bring their faith to life through age appropriate songs, stories, movement, and lessons.  Children actively participate in leading the service by reading, singing, operating the projector, offering prayers, and carrying banners. 

Most weeks, children join their parents in the church around 9:40 a.m. to share in communion with the wider congregation. Once a month, they remain in children's church to share in an instructed communion service with one of our priests.  Children's church strives to instill our youngest saints with a sense of meaning and purpose behind our foundational Christian practices and traditions as we prepare students to begin attending "big church" starting in the 4th grade. 

​Parents are always welcome and invited to join us!
