Children in Worship - Worshipping God is the "main event" for any church community.  We have found that  children in our midst enhance our services of worship.  They remind us of God's love for all people.  The children learn quickly how to be part of our family of faith.  They like sitting with their parents, and sharing this important time with them.  At first parents may be nervous about how their children might distract others, or be a distraction from their own worship.  We put a flier in the back of every pew with tips for parents on worshipping with their children.  Click on the link above to see the flier on kids in worship.

Sunday School -

Taught by people who love kids and love God, our Sunday school classes meet from 10:10- 10:50 am.  We have classes for kids pre-K through senior high, and a discussion class for adults as well.  Sunday school classes are generally held September thru Memorial Day.

LOGOS -   Wednesdays are lively days at ELCC from mid-September through mid-April.  Our Logos program involves children and youth (pre-school through high school) with adults from the congregation in an experience of building a truly Christian community.  We laugh together in recreation, learn together in Bible time classes (by grade level, or grouping levels), worship and serve together in music/worship time, and experience the joys of family and fellowship with a shared supper each week.  Click here to learn more about our LOGOS ministry.

Vacation Bible School (VBS) - Each summer ELCC conducts a theme-based Vacation Bible School.  For 2008 Bible School will be a Beach Party!! Neighbors, friends, grandkids... K- 5th graders will have a great time learning stories from the Bible in the midst of a whole lot of fun.  For more information on dates and times, please take a look at our calendar.

Trunk or Treat- Kids come from the neighborhood and all over town to make their way from trunk to decorated trunk in the church parking lot.  In addition to safe trick-or-treating, there's always some extra fun like face painting and bobbing for apples.  Check our calendar for the exact time and date.

Easter Egg Hunt- We love having a big back yard where the whole neighborhood can gather for fun.  Easter-time finds us hiding lots of eggs and welcoming kids to come enjoy a romp in the spring.  Everybody goes home from this egg hunt a real winner.
