BATH — Children’s Church begins at Grace Episcopal Church 1100 Washington St., on Sunday, Sept. 9, at 9:30 a.m.
Children’s Church is a short worship service for young children and their families. It begins every week with a simple breakfast to help start the day. There will be a Bible story, song, an activity, and a time for prayers. The service will end no later than 10:15.
According to the Rev. Michael Ambler, Rector of Grace, the purpose of Children’s Church is to help children learn about God by actually “doing church,” a news release states. The service will be short, and geared to the interests and attention spans of young children.
Children’s Church is for everyone, whether they have any church experience or not. It’s meant especially for children in the elementary grades, but younger and older children will also find it engaging.
Participants in Children’s Church be invited to make weekly offerings, and will decide on a project they want to fund. In addition, there will be opportunities during the year for children to do service of different kinds – to “love their neighbors,” as Jesus said.
The services will be held every Sunday in the Chapel at Grace Episcopal Church. Parking is available on Washington Street, from which paths lead directly to the Chapel, or in Grace’s parking lot off Edward Street.
