What about a nursery for my children?
St. Paul’s UCC believes that children are our greatest gift, and we strive to create an environment where they can experience the love of God through community, learning, play and worship. We have created a prayer ground, in the back of our sanctuary. This is a space for children to remain with us in worship. In this space there is quiet toys and ways to crate art while participating in worship as they are able.
