Youth in Worship

Acolytes – All middle school students are invited to sign up for an opportunity to serve as acolyte for the 11:00 AM worship service. A sign up sheet is posted on the bulletin board in Memorial Hall (between the sanctuary and chapel) and in the middle school church school classroom.

Senior High Liturgists

Tony Lukeman is working with the youth who will be reading scripture on the 5th Sunday of October, January and May.

Children’s Worship

(Ages Kindergarten - Grade 3) Each week during both worship services, children attend their own age-appropriate worship service after their special time with the Pastor. Volunteer adult and youth members lead the lessons and activities. (Chapel)

Youth Sunday

Members of the senior high youth group, supported by members of the middle school youth group and the children’s choirs lead worship at both services. We appreciate the talented and enthusiastic youth we have in our church and the youth are grateful to the session and congregation for allowing this opportunity to experience and participate in worship as leaders.
