What is it?

Children Worship and Wonder (CWW) is a worship experience designed especially for children. CWW is based on a Montessori approach, thus encouraging children to express their love of God in their own ways. Although the service has a regular worship order, there are opportunities within the service for children to participate, as much or as little as they wish.

What will my kids do?

Children will go forward during the worship service for the Children’s Sermon, and afterward, the CWW Greeter will escort them to the Worship Center (along the same hallway as the church office).  The Storyteller will welcome all of the children, and their worship service begins with songs. Next, children will listen to a story which is told with the use of wooden or laminated materials.  Children then have time to respond to the story by working with the materials for that story or by selecting some art supplies to create something of their own.  The Storyteller will read the same story from the Bible and lead a participatory prayer of Thanksgiving. Everyone then participates in a feast (sometimes crackers and cheese or fruit and crackers, water). When parents arrive outside the door, the Greeter will tell the child they are there so that the child can get a personal blessing from the Storyteller before leaving the Worship Center. ​
