Preschool
Babies, Toddlers & Twos – “Frolic Preschool” in Room 117
Threes & PreK – “Frolic Preschool” in Room 119
9:30 – 10:15 and 10:30 – 11:30
Both age groups offer two sessions each Sunday so that kids may attend either one or both. They will talk about the same story in both classes, but in different ways with different activities. Frolic Preschool(published by Sparkhouse, a division of Augsburg Fortress) offers young children the experience of learning about God’s stories through imagination and play. In addition, kids in the older class will benefit from our Godly Play storytelling sets.

At 9:30*, both groups gather in the Sheppard Hall loft for fun and fellowship before dividing into age groups at about 9:45. The younger group will meet in The Dock and the older group will meet in The Harbor, both just down the hall from the loft. (Parents attending their 9:30 class meet in a classroom adjacent to the loft, so everyone can walk up together)
At 10:30**, elementary kids begin worship in the sanctuary with their parents. After the children’s sermon, Tell Us Our Story, they walk with an adult leader to the Dock.
*9:30 Elementary classes do not meet on the first Sunday of each month, as our church family joins together for Serve Sunday – a project in which all ages may contribute to help a church ministry or outreach partner.
**Saint Luke’s practices “Family Worship Sunday” on the first Sunday of each month, which is when we celebrate Communion. Elementary children remain in worship with their families to become familiar with the rhythms of worship and experience the Lord’s Supper either through observation or participation. Communion education is provided after worship on these Sundays, so children who are interested may come up to the chancel after worship to learn and receive take-home resources.
Elementary Kids Can Make Music on S’More Sundays!
Children in Kindergarten through 5th grade who are interested in making music with singing and rhythm instruments are invited to come back for S’More church fun on 9 Sundays in August, September, and November. From 5:00 until 6:30 we will make music, have fun and share a meal in Great Hall.
Join us for any or all these fun things!
Children of all ages are always welcome to remain in worship! We have special worship carts packed with quiet activities, plus baskets filled with worship-related books.
Child Care – Saint Luke’s provides child care for children each Sunday morning. We employ screened, professional caregivers who love serving the families of our church. Nursery classrooms are all located in Sheppard Hall.
