Sunday Morning
Workshop Rotation:
Held on Sundays from 10:15-11:05 a.m., our Kindergarten through fifth grade children enjoy learning about Bible stories as they experience the stories through a workshop rotation model of education. Based on Howard Gardner’s theory of multiple intelligences, the model takes into account the effectiveness of teaching styles in the retention of information. The curriculum we use, Power Xpress offers eight different ways to present material. The Biblical stories come alive through art, computers, cookery, games, music, science, storytelling and video. Each week, children in grade-level classes travel to different stations to experience the story in a new way. Some stations are taught by adult members of the congregation, some by middle schoolers, some by university students. Each station uses one of our specially decorated rooms which you can visit in the virtual tour.
Preschool children learn in a more traditional classroom taught by an adult volunteer using the Presbyterian Church (USA) curriculum We Believe.

Godly Play:
Godly Play is a Montessori-based approach to worship, held on Sundays during the Contemporary worship service at 11:20 a.m. Based on the notion that a child’s knowledge of God comes not from what they’ve been told, but upon their own experience with God. Godly Play centers children in quiet reflection as they listen to Biblical stories and visually see the stories unfold. As the children enter into the story, they often find meaning in what they see and hear. They are given time to wonder together about the story and to respond through the use of art materials. During the Contemporary worship service, children ages 3 through 8 are dismissed to go to the gathering place for Godly Play. Please contact Mary Kitchell for more information, at
