Confirmation Class for 7th-12th Graders through April 28
Our confirmation class for 7th-12th graders will run every first and third Sunday, 4-5:30. until their service of confirmation on April 28th. Those being confirmed are encouraged to stay after confirmation class until 7:00 for our EYC dinner, programming, and fellowship. Please click here for the registration form. Please reach out to the Rev. Sarah Spurlock Biggs with any questions at sspurlockbiggs@icoh.net Come to Children's Chapel
Children's Chapel is held each Sunday at 10:00 a.m. in the Oratory at Immanuel Chapel. This is a 25-minute service full of prayer, Bible stories, music, and reflections to teach our younger parishioners about God's love. Grown-ups and siblings are also welcome! Children
Children are a vital part of our faith and community. We strive to make services and offerings family-friendly. We encourage families with young children to sit toward the front where it is easier to see and hear. Some Sundays we ask the children present to come up for Children's Homilies or to see some part of the service. We encourage them to sing hymns, pray, and join their voices to congregational responses in worship. We expect that children will wiggle, run around, and even fuss a bit. That's why we have provided colorful "Busy Bags" to be used during worship. We want to be a community where children feel deeply loved and welcome. This is among the most important ways we can live out our faith in Jesus. Sermons for Children
Most first Sundays of the month we offer a children’s homily. This is a lovely way to invite and encourage children and families to come to a service more oriented to their specific worship needs. Children need to know that our worship spaces are for them, too.
