Children in Worship

For all parents who wish to worship with their child, our church is a welcome place. Listed below are some helpful tips.

  • Even if a child is not able to read, it is formative to have them watch their parents sing, pray and show reverence.

  • Activity Bags are available near the sanctuary doors. The bags are lovingly stuffed with coloring books, crayons, age-appropriate books and activities for your child.

  • We invite parents with children to sit toward the front. This allows children to see what is happening.

  • We have a rocking chair in the Sanctuary. This allows closeness for parent and child in the sacred setting of the sanctuary.

Children and Communion

Children are welcome at the communion table. Children may receive the communion, or a blessing. We believe that parents are the best people to know when it the child is ready to receive communion. Our pastor is available to talk to your family and your child about communion.

Nursery Care

If you are interested in Nursery Care for your child, we will do our best to accommodate you. Please reach out to Marcia Bates.


Ages 3-10

The Atrium is MLC’s Montessori-based faith development program for children ages 3-10. In the Atrium, children learn about God using hands-on materials in a quiet atmosphere that invites wonder.

We meet 8:30-10am Sundays, November through May. There is no cost for the program.
