Intergenerational

Our special Intergenerational Church School days intentionally take into account the fact that there are learners of different ages and experiences in attendance. The programs seek to teach to the hearts of everyone present.

Intergenerational teaching and learning benefits both adults and children. It provides opportunities for all generations to understand the material differently and benefit from another perspective. It is a unique opportunity for the young to learn from the old, and for the old to learn from the young. See examples of intergenerational events below!

Family Worship

Periodically throughout the year, we hold 30-minute, interactive worship services at 9:45am (in lieu of Church School), geared towards PreK-Elementary aged children and their families.

Intergenerational Worship

These worship services – on Sundays at 11am – will feature storytelling, joyful music making, art, and movement, and are designed to be engaging for all ages. Teens and young adults are invited to join an acoustic band that will help lead the music. 

Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Day

The Sunday of Martin Luther King Jr. Weekend we turn our fellowship hall into a hub of service and art activities for all ages, centered around a theme relating to Dr. King’s ministry.

Advent Wreath-Making

Every year on the first Sunday of Advent, we host a wreath workshop for anyone wishing to make their own Advent wreath. We provide the wreath forms, greenery, and decorations, you just bring your hands and your Advent cheer!
