For Visiting Families:
What to Expect on Sunday Morning

We look forward to meeting new families! Services begin in the Meetinghouse every Sunday morning at 10:00, from the Sunday after Labor Day until mid-June.

Wondering what to wear? Be comfortable! The attire is generally casual. Some people like to dress up and wear a hat, some children enjoy wearing their fancy clothes and sparkly shoes. Casual or fancy, both will fit in just fine. Keep in mind for children that they may be going outside to explore and play, or using paint or glue if they participate in the religious exploration classes.

If your family is attending with children, plan to arrive a little early to meet our Membership Coordinator, Sara Morrison Neil, on the steps of the Meetinghouse, and our Director of Religious Exploration. All children, regardless of age, are welcome to stay with their families throughout the entire worship service. You are also welcome to explore these options:

Infants to 24 months

A nursery is available for your youngest child(ren) in the Parish House. The worship service is live-streamed in the nursery room, so you can follow along while your youngsters play.

Preschool through Middle School Aged Youth

School-age children join the congregation for the first 15 minutes of service with their families. After opening rituals and hymns, the children leave the sanctuary with their teachers to their classroom. Visiting children are welcome to join them and will be directed by the DRE to the appropriate classroom. Parents/Guardians are expected to collect their children at the end of the service in their classroom.

High School Youth

High-school-aged teens are encouraged to stay for the entire worship service and are invited to attend the youth group meeting for that week, which is either after the service or on Sunday evening. Please check the announcements in the Order of Service, or inquire with the DRE  for that week’s schedule.
