Q: What should I wear?

Q: Are my children welcome in worship?
A: At PUMC, children of all ages are warmly welcomed at worship. We believe that worship is for everyone. If your children attend worship with you, don't fret if they should decide to be noticed! We love having children in our worship services. If you would like, the following are also available to your children during worship….
For interested children, we offer activity sheets for your children to pick up when they come into church. These sheets are also called "Sunday bulletins for kids". These bulletins are located in acrylic bins on the tower in the narthex (aka the "lobby").
We realize that sometimes children get restless during worship. We offer a 'cry room' or 'quiet room' at the rear of the sanctuary, complete with comfortable rocking chairs, where parents can see and hear the worship service. We also have a professionally staffed nursery for children ages two and under at each service.
Sunday school is offered for children of all ages during the 9:30 am service, and Children's Worship LIve! is offered at the 11:00 worship services for ages K - 5th grades. Sunday School is offered for ages 2 - PreK at the 11:00 service, as well.
