Children and Families at Federated ChurchChildren are a beloved part of our gatherings ~ Wiggles and Giggles Included!

We start Sunday morning worship together with our families and after the Chidlren’s Blessing, we go to our age-appropriate classes. Parents are welcome

to come with their children at any time... siblings are welcome to stay together. We want your children to be comfortable and happy while they’re here learning about the steadfast love of God through Jesus. We have so many ways you and

your children can connect. See Jodie Regan, Minister to Children and Families for all the details.

It’s “Second Sunday”

Children return to worship to celebrate

communion with their families.
