Godly Play Sundays, beginning September 8 at 10:30am, in age-specific classroom Children 24 months to 5th grade are invited to join their peers on Sunday mornings for Godly Play, an imaginative way of telling the stories of the Bible using multi-sensory materials and presented “chronologically” and in sync with the liturgical year.

Youth connect in communities of faith.

Rite 13 (6th - 8th graders) Sundays, 10:15am at Molly’s House September 8, 15, and 22 The Journey to Adulthood (J2A) youth curriculum, launching this year, will guide the spiritual formation of our junior and senior high youth.

The beginning phase of the J2A program is called Rite 13, a name that comes from a liturgical rite of passage to celebrate with young people around their 13th birthday. Rite 13 focuses on recognizing the gifts God has given us, celebrating our creative potential, and learning to interact as a community of faith.
