Tell it to your children, and let your children tell it to their children, and their children to the next generation

It is a blessing that youth feel at
home in our congregation and a challenge for us to prepare
worship for all ages. We work hard to provide opportunities
for our youth
to remain involved in and inspired by the church experience.
Youth programs are kept meaningful and vibrant through
periodical reviews and active solicitation of new program ideas. Sunday mornings during the school year, youth from kindergarten through high school gather in the newly renovated education building of the church to participate in Sunday School classes. In the summer, youth age 4 - 12 may attend a week of Vacation Bible School. Confirmation classes are given approximately every two years. During the worship service, there is a children's sermon tailored to the needs of the very young through elementary school. Children in grades 3 - 8 can participate in the service by being acolytes. Periodically, the Junior Choir will perform during the service. Apart from the service, youth have the opportunity for fellowship with their age appropriate Youth Group. Youth program schedules are coordinated through the Youth Council. For more information, phone the church office at 973-377-1231 or email. |
