The Word Made Young is our worship service designed for young children, offered at 10:00 am in the Pre-K/K classroom on the second floor of the Parish House.  Children from age 3-2^nd grade come together for worship, then rejoin their parents at the Peace for Holy Communion.

The driving force behind “The Word Made Young” is a simple statement: children belong in church. Sometimes children can worship in a large service with lots of people; sometimes they need a service of their own. And so St. Michael’s is happy to offer two options for worship during the 10:00 am service.

Parents are always welcome to keep their children with them in the sanctuary for worship. But “The Word Made Young” is an opportunity for young children to worship together in ways geared toward them. Our primary goal is worshipping God, but along with that we will be teaching the children the basic structure of the Liturgy of the Word, from the opening acclamation (“Blessed be God: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit”) to the Peace. The gospel lesson will be told as a story rather than read, and the sermon will be replaced with an opportunity to explore the meaning of the gospel. There will be lots of singing, and children are invited to bring their parents.

If you would like your children to participate in this service, please join us at 10:00 in the PreK/K room on the second floor of the Parish House, which you can get to via the gallery stairs straight from the church. Ask a greeter or clergyperson if you are unsure how to get there. You are welcome to stay with your child there or to leave them; we will all be joining the larger congregation and families at the Peace.
