Kids at Saint David of Wales

Hospitality to our children is fundamental to our worship experience. They are welcomed and blessed at the beginning of the service, then invited to join the Godly Play classroom, welcomed back to our service at the peace, and always greeted with love and care at the altar for the Eucharist

An art table often found at the back of the sanctuary occupies those kids who would prefer to stay for the entire service or would like to draw and color once they return to the sanctuary after Sunday school. Our youth are also invited to participate in the liturgy itself, as usher sand acolytes. Children are valued, full members of our community, and we welcome their energy and voices throughout the entire worship service.​

​All ages are welcome! Learn more below:

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 i 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.
