* Children' s Worship takes place the
second Sunday of each month and provides an opportunity for the Sunday-school to build community by worshiping together. On these Sundays, all students (through the eighth grade) meet in the Parish Hall for a worship service, hymn singing and a presentation, followed by regular Sunday School Classes.
* All-Church Family Services are held on Thanksgiving, Christmas, Easter and Children' s Sunday. During these services, students will sit with their families.
Attendance
We believe that our program is a valuable and necessary one in today' s world and encourage attendance whenever possible. We will keep attendance records and those with perfect and near perfect attendance will be recognized.
Baby-care (Nursery)
A nursery staffed by volunteers is available each week for babies and toddlers and is located down the stairs where most of our classrooms are.
Because First Parish values the worship experience and the community that is nourished by that experience, children and adults attend services together during the first fifteen minutes or so. During this time, a children' s talk is usually given. After the talk, the children are recessed out of the service to go to their classes. At this time, a Sunday School offering is collected from them which is donated to the MainSpring House to buy food for the homeless.
