Pray Ground!

What is a Pray Ground?

It is a space in the Sanctuary, specifically designed for children to worship God with the community of faith and engage with the Holy Spirit.

The space will be at the front of the Sanctuary. Families may sit together in the front, take liturgical/worship activities to their pews, or sit with Jenni, near the front. Small chairs and a table will be set up to welcome littles. Bags or tubs will be filled with worship activities to help connect the scripture, sermon, and songs chosen for the day. This will be a change for our whole congregation. The children may talk aloud, perhaps they will wander the aisle, or dance during a hymn. Let us show grace, love, support, and patience as we "try this out" for the summer. May we support the parents of the children, too. A smile, an encouraging wave, or an invitation to sit with you during worship would be most appreciated.
