Families Growing In Faith

Only be careful, and watch yourselves closely so that you do not forget the things your eyes have seen or let them slip from your heart as long as you live. Teach them to your children and to their children after them. - Deuteronomy 4:9

St. Paul's is committed to partnering with families to continue faith development at home. We recognize that parents are the strongest and most influential role models for a child's faith development. We offer a variety of programs to foster faith development in our families.

In addition to special family events, each Sunday offers a terrific opportunity for family spiritual growth. We strongly encourage children (and parents) to attend Sunday School at 9:15am and worship together at 10:45am.

Family Worship Sundays (no Sunday School) with family friendly worship at both 9:15am and 10:45am are offered three times a year. Family (Intergenerational) Sunday School is offered occasionally.

Special family events occur throughout the year. These events offer the opportunity for families to get better acquainted. Not only do these events help to strengthen our St. Paul's family and your family, they are just plain fun (for kids and grownups alike)!!

Some of St. Paul's annual holiday family events include:

  • Hanging of the Greens Advent Workshop
  • Family Easter Egg Hunt and Workshop
  • Monthly family events are planned. Watch the bulletin for invitations to picnics at a park, family game nights, family movie nights, parenting workshops, etc.

Do you have an idea for a fun family event or would you like to get involved in this important ministry?
