Childcare Co-op
(crawlers - pre-K)
We welcome children of all ages in church, but we also offer
childcare for those who want it. Our Childcare Coordinator, Danielle
Smoot, is assisted
by parents who take turns caring for each other’s kids. Childcare is
available on Sunday mornings during the 10:15 Eucharist, and for some special events as well. Contact:

Sunday School (pre-K - 5th grade)
Faith
formation happens wherever people of faith come together intentionally
in community.
Sunday school at St. Thomas includes both learning in classrooms with
teachers and in church with the entire congregation. No matter what format our learning takes, we always rejoin the entire
congregation in time for the Eucharistic Prayer. You can drop your child off
as early as 10:05 each week. We use the Living the Good News
curriculum and rotate Sunday school teachers on a monthly schedule. We split into three Sunday school classes:
Preschool (Pre-K/K), Primary (grades 1-2), and
Intermediate (grades
3-5). Our Preschoolers meet in the preschool room at St. Thomas
School, through the east entrance and to the right. Our Primary class is held in
the Conference Room, and our Intermediate class is held in the
Parkside Room. Contact:

Kids' Club (grades

This youth group for the younger set meets once a month after the
10:15 service for lunch, fun, community-building, and service projects.
Kids' Club will meet on the following dates: February 7, March 14, May 16, and
