Children's Faith Formation
2017-04-09 10:30 - 23:30 (America/Denver) | Lakewood United Church of Christ, 100 Carr Street, Lakewood, CO, 80226, United States
Jesus said, “Let the children come to me.”
On Sunday mornings, childcare for children 3 years and younger is available in the nursery from 9:30 a.m. until the end of the service. Visiting children are welcome. Please accompany your children to and from the nursery. Pre-K through 6th-grade children start in worship and then leave during the “Passing of the Peace” to participate in Children’s Faith Formation. Our volunteers and staff act as spiritual mentors, rather than teachers. They welcome the children into a positive, loving, fun, and safe space to encounter the sacred on their own terms. Through age-appropriate, Bible-based activities—including arts and crafts, drama, stories, songs, discussion, and spiritual practices—children encounter God, learn about Jesus, and explore what their faith means to them.
