Summer 2019 Schedule
During the Summer, we are combining the age groups and offering one lesson for children during the 9am service
starting June 16th through September 2nd 2019.

Nursery care will be offered on the playground during the 10 o'clock hour, weather permitting. 
Nursery care will be inside in the Nursery during both services.

Godly Play
Sundays during the 9am service for pre-readers (ages 3-7 yrs)


Saint David’s uses the Godly Play curriculum. Godly Play is a Montessori-based, agenda-free experience to help children explore their own innate spirituality and questions about God. Creativity and fun are always a factor!  Our Godly Play classroom is a great place to be on Sunday mornings.

Historically, Sunday school has begun in church every Sunday. Children began their worship day with their families and the main congregation and then leave with their teachers for a Godly Play lesson.  They have re-joined their families for Eucharist and the rest of the service.

If you would like to know more about the Godly Play program at St. David's, contact our Children's Ministries Coordinator at kids@saintdavidpdx.org.

​Celebrating children at Saint David of Wales
To the caretakers of our youngest members:
  • Relax! God put the wiggles in children; don’t feel you have to suppress it here.
  • Feel free to sit towards the front where it’s easier for little ones to see and hear.
  • Sing the hymns, pray and respond. Children learn liturgical behavior from you.
  • If you need to leave Mass with your child, feel free to do so, but please come back.
  • Remember! The way we welcome children in church directly affects the way they responds to Church, to God, and to Christ. Let them know that they are at home in this Liturgical gathering.
  • Please let us know how we can become more welcoming to your children.
