God loves kids and so do we!
Children of all ages are welcome to worship with their parent(s) in the Sanctuary. The ushers will provide you with activity bags that include crayons and coloring pages. The church library serves as a "crying room" for fussy babies or nursing moms; there, you can listen to the worship service and have easy access to the changing table in the Women's rest room.
Children through 3-years old are also welcome in our professionally staffed Nursery. Beepers are provided to parents to notify them in the event of an emergency.
We also offer two worship experiences for older children, Children's Worship and Young Disciples:
| CHILDREN'S WORSHIP: 4 yrs old - 2nd grade |
Children's Worship meets every Sunday in the Covenant Room. This brief child-friendly worship service provides 4-year olds through 2nd graders the opportunity to worship God at their level. Kids sing, pray, make a project, and hear a Bible Story that they can relate to. On Communion Sundays, Children's Worship begins at 10am; on other Sundays, it begins immediately following the Children's Message during the Sanctuary service.
| YOUNG DISCIPLES: 3rd - 5th grade |
Young Disciples meets on the second and fourth Sundays of the month in the Trinity Room. This is a worship experience designed just for 3nd through 5th graders. It begins immediately following the Children's Message during the Sanctuary service.
| LIGHTING THE WAY: Acolyting |
Is your child in third grade or older? Does he or she want a way to feel like a part of the Sunday morning church service? They can be an acolyte! An acolyte lights the chancel altar's candles which symbolize the Holy Spirit's presence during worship.
We want your first worship experience to be a great one for both you and your
child(ren)! Feel free to email ( paula@ppch.org ) or call ahead to the church office at (908) 658-3346 and let us know you're coming. We will be ready to welcome you and show you and your child(ren) around!
