Children in the Eucharist

We welcome children's involvement in nearly every aspect of our weekly worship. Please visit our Worship Servers page for more information on serving as an acolyte, baking bread, distributing Holy Communion, greeting, reading, ushering, etc.

 


St. Thomas Choristers

Please visit our Music and the Arts page for more information on our choir and music education program for kids.


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, Kendra Long, 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: Kendra Long, Childcare Coordinator (kendralong@gmail.com or 425-269-3999)


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 special Chapel Sundays, when we tell our sacred stories in the chapel.

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.
