WOW is offered every Sunday during the 11 o’clock service and offers children ages 3 (potty-trained) through 5th grade the opportunity to worship and respond on their own level. We use the stories from Godly Play as our “sermon” time and the children have music time with our Children’s Choir Director. Music includes favorite church songs as well as learning a song to share in worship as part of the Kids of the Kingdom Choir. In October children learn Christmas songs as part of our annual Christmas Pageant shared by the children of the church. This fall we will offer WOW both in-person and virtually at the same time using our 360 degree Owl and Zoom.
While masking in public is safest, wearing a mask in the church will be left to each individual. Please come as you feel comfortable. We continue to encourage you to be vaccinated if you can do so.
- In-person children will begin in the 11 o’clock service until called forward to leave for WOW with Miss Jen and Miss Sarah.
- There are worship activity bags at all 3 entrances of the sanctuary with puzzles connected to the scripture of the day, coloring, stickers and more for children to do while listening to the beginning of service.
- Children joining virtually can join us for worship through the WOW Zoom link. The Zoom link is available in the weekly Children’s & Youth email or you can email Jen Brown-Murphy to receive the link.
Once we go to the WOW room, in-person and virtual children will begin our time together for our Greeting, Opening Song, and Changing of the Church Clock. Then we will split into 2 rooms so that the adult leader can remove their mask to teach the children joining via Zoom.
WOW will end at noon or before. In-person children can be picked up on the 3rd floor after the 11 o’clock service. Parents, please wait in the hallway and we will release children by family as soon as we complete our worship time!
