Children in worship services
All children are welcome in the worship services of University Park United Methodist Church. For those too young to participate happily, we provide childcare during worship services. By age 5, most children are ready and able to participate with their families in worship. An activity folder is provided at all sanctuary entrances for children to use during the service. There is a children’s time at both services, except on Holy Communion Sundays or when children’s choirs are singing. Childare is also provided for babies and toddlers during the Sunday School hour of 9:45 a.m.
Children's Choir: Children from kindergarten through the elementary grades may participate in the children’s choir program. Choirs are regularly scheduled to sing in worship services.
Acolytes: Children in fifth grade may become acolytes, assisting on a rotating basis in the worship services. Training and recognition are provided for this service opportunity.
