​The Family Faith Formation Team is so excited to see you all again this year! We continue on Zoom for Worship Wednesday this fall and gather in person for monthly Sunday Fun Days - an experience in music, Bible adventure, fellowship, and fun for children, youth, and families on the first Sunday of each month. Rachel (Rachel Drobnak) will be leading online Worship Wednesdays along with Mrs. Janine (Janine Smith, Worship Director). All are welcome to join us each Wednesday on Zoom from 4:15-5:00pm. We encourage all ages to join, even if you arrive late or need to leave early. Rachel will  send weekly Worship Wednesday reminder emails  with the Worship Wednesday zoom link and other information.

Register 

Videos of Worship Wednesday are regularly shared with the congregation during our Sunday worship. To participate in Worship Wednesday please register your child(ren) by completing both of the forms on the Registration page (one set of forms for each child).

Children in Worship

Children are important to us here at ULC and we’re dedicated to providing a strong foundation for their lifelong faith formation. We invite you and your children to worship, learn, and grow together toward the front of the Sanctuary.

Consider the “Three E’s” that help us welcome a child’s participation in worship: 

1. Educate: It is our joy and hope that children will feel welcome to worship in ways that uniquely appeal to their cognitive development. Each week a variety of books related to the theme of the day, as well as “Celebrate!” inserts that help children follow along with the liturgy, are provided.
2. Engage: Being up front is a great way for children to see, hear, learn, and participate in worship! Each week there will be a variety of different ways to capture the imagination of our children through the sharing of scripture, music, dancing, coloring pages, puzzles, and more. 
3. Equip: By providing a dedicated place for children in worship, they are better able to concretely understand their value as a child of God, and to know, “There’s a place for me here.” 

​Exercising the “Three E’s” with children in our congregation continues to help us grow as an inter-generational faith community. Together we are on the road of lifelong faith formation for the sake of Christ’s church.  We hope that you and your children will feel welcome to enjoy the space in worship; to actively participate, focus, grow in faith and learn about God’s love in their own unique and wiggly way!
