Christian Enrichment for Children

Children’s Chapel is offered each week to elementary age children during our 10:30 worship. Children are led out of the church by the Crucifer and gather in Ferebee Hall where they learn and examine the weekly Gospel reading. Children return to Worship during “The Peace”.

Nursery is available each week during the 10:30 worship in the undercroft. It is staffed by adult and older teen volunteers, providing a safe and loving environment for children ages birth through 5. Parents are asked to pick up their children during the serving of the Eucharist.

Godly Play provides young children in the nursery an opportunity to learn Bible stories through wonderful teachers and hands-on storytelling. Godly Play is scheduled each week (September through May) in the room adjoining the nursery.

In addition to these weekly offerings, St. Alban’s encourages children throughout the year with events like: Cantor Kids, Pumpkin Festival, Gingerbread House Day, Elves Night Out, Walk to Bethlehem (Christmas Eve Family Worship),  Feast of Lights, Stations of the Cross for Children, Easter Egg Hunt & Breakfast on Easter Morning, Vacation Bible School and various outings in the community and surrounding areas.  In addition to these fun & enriching events, the children and families are encouraged to look beyond their own families, church and schools and see where they can make a difference, being Jesus’ hands and feet.  The children recently collected money during Lent for the Episcopal Relief & Development.  They raised enough money to buy 2 pigs for families in developing countries and had funds left over to be earmarked for Tornado Relief right here in NC.  GREAT JOB KIDS!!!
