10:30 a.m. to 11:45 a.m.

Each session will feature activities, games, and crafts that support the lesson or theme of the day. Children may participate in one or both sessions. The early session allows parents to participate Adult Choir Rehearsal at 9:00 a.m. or Scripture Study at 9:30 a.m. (September through May)

Families may choose the option that works best for them.

Children can attend the early Children’s Church session and then join their parents in the “big” church at 10:30 a.m.

Children may remain in Children’s Church throughout the whole morning and continue learning and playing with their peers.

At the conclusion of the service, parents should pick up their children from the Children’s Church Kid’s Corner in the Parish Hall. Children will not be escorted between the two buildings by childcare workers.

For children attending worship in church with their parent/guardian, age-appropriate bulletins are available. Quiet Bags are located on a stand in the Narthex and contain simple activities to keep them occupied during the service. We ask that all materials be returned at the end of the service so they can be used the following week again.
WEDNESDAY | 5:15 - 6:00pm

St. David’s Choir Practice
Available for ages 5 through 18. This group is taught by Margit Miller. Learning to sing is just the basics of St. David’s Choir. The students learn to read music, music theory, gain listening skills, and how to work with others to complete a task. The choir practices every Wednesday during the school year: August – May.

If you are interested in having your child participate in St. David’s Choir, please contact the church office.
WEDNESDAY | 5:30 - 7:30pm

Art & Soul

Head to the art room for devotion and art.

Children will explore Scripture while expressing themselves through art. Some projects will be completed in a single evening, while others will unfold over several weeks. Our hope is that children learn to see creativity as a gift from God and a way to respond to the Creator.

If your child is in St. David’s Choir:

Choir members are dropped off at the church before parents head to the Parish Hall for the evening’s program. When rehearsal concludes at 6, ministry leaders escort choir members to the Kid’s Corner of the Parish Hall to join Art & Soul.

Scripture Study is held during the school year: September – May.
SUNDAY | 10:15AM - 12:00 PM - Acolyte

Acolytes play a vital role in leading our worship services, assisting the clergy in carrying out the liturgy with reverence and grace. They carry processional crosses, torches, and banners, light candles, and help prepare the altar for Holy Communion. Serving as an acolyte is a meaningful way to deepen one’s faith, learn more about Episcopal traditions, and actively contribute to the rhythm and beauty of our worship. This opportunity is open to youth and adults who feel called to serve in this capacity.

Please contact the Children & Youth Director, for more information.
MONDAY | 7:27PM

All Saints’ is proud to support and work with Young Life. Young Life meets at “The Corner” of the Annex on our campus. High Schoolers are encouraged to participate in YL Club. Read more about the program, HERE.
