At St. John’s we rejoice in family and children as a special gift of God to his people and his Church. For this reason, we encourage parents to keep their children with them during worship, as you help your children grow as members of our worship community. Many of our young families prefer to sit up front where their children can see more fascinating elements of worship, such as the procession, the use of the Baptismal font, and the lighting of candles. When children are encouraged to enjoy the entire experience of authentic Lutheran worship, it’s amazing how quickly they begin to grasp the power of worship and learn to participate.
We do have a nursery available for parents who prefer to have their children there during the service. The nursery has toys for your child to play with and dedicated workers to take care of your child while you worship. Ushers are always available to direct you there.
