Children's Chapel

Children's Chapel is designed for children ages 3 through grade 2. Children process out of the 10:30 a.m. service during the processional hymn following the child carrying the children's cross.

Children's Chapel is held in Pengelly Hall for the purpose of teaching children reverence and love of God among their peers and it gives parents and grandparents a chance to worship in the main service. The Children’s Chapel leader returns children to their parents during the Announcement/Peace time so children can participate in the Eucharist with their family.  Some liturgical practice takes place during Children’s Chapel:  carrying the cross, lighting candles on the altar, and snuffing the candles.

The children say prayers, sing, and hear a bible lesson with application to their lives.  This time is spent teaching children a love and respect for God, each other, and their church.  Some lessons include the Ten Commandments, the Twelve Apostles, the Books of the Bible, and liturgical lessons such as Holy Communion.  Children are then allowed a response time as time permits.

This past year the children were blessed with the following leaders:  Pam LaMontia,  Libby Schaller, Lisa Leak, Sharon Zeeck, and Brenda Parks.  These ladies lead Children’s Chapel once a month, and their service enriches the lives of St. Theodore’s children and allows parents a time to fully participate in the service and sermon.

Adults are welcome to process out with the children and observe this special time of Children’s Chapel in Pengelly Hall.
