Our present policy (October 2023) is that all persons be masked for our worship service/children’s ministry. This includes children.
Children are welcome and invited to participate at all Northside Presbyterian worship services. We invite all families to join us for the beginning of the worship service; there is a new time with children during worship (after the opening hymn) called “Growing with God” where there is a book, bible story, or lesson with the Children and the congregation led by Pastor Jenny.
Parents determine whether their children should attend the services or play in the children’s room. There is a children’s area in the sanctuary for reading books and quiet activities. We know kids make noise, but all are welcome here!
Child care is offered for children Elementary age and younger during worship services and at most major church events. In collaboration with St. Aidan’s Episcopal, Northsiders share responsibilities for caring for our children, and each member volunteers 3-4 Sundays per year in our nursery. A paid and trained staff member supervises the nursery at all times as well.
