Children and youth are important participants in the life of Thomas Church. During worship services, children participate in a special time of teaching. Children often serve as ushers, acolytes, choir members and greeters as well as participate in mission projects. We are blessed by their presence among us.
Each Sunday at the 11:00 service children are invited forward for a brief time of sharing and insights for Christian living. Either Rev Jaberg or others lead this special time for children age 3- 5th grade.
The Sunday School children gather in their classrooms at 9:45am to begin their time with a caring staff of teachers. At 10:30 children assemble in the Fellowship Hall for a time of singing, announcements and preparing mission projects. Parents are asked to pick up their children in the Fellowship Hall at 10:45am. Sunday School meets September through May.
After the Children’s Chat at the 11:00 worship service children 3 years old to 2nd grade are invited to a special time of Bible Stories, crafts, games and prayer. You may pick up your child in Room 3 after the worship service.
