What to expect
All are welcome to join in Worship at Grove.
Our worship service begins at 10:30am on Sundays.
When you arrive and park, you may enter through the main sanctuary doors facing Bloom Road where you will be greeted and given a bulletin. Please note that after the Worship service starts all doors but the sanctuary doors are locked.
The greeters are able to answer questions you may have and direct you to children’s materials or the nursery if needed. Listening devices and large print bulletins are available - just ask!
Children of all ages are welcome to attend every worship service.
All are invited after worship to gather in Fellowship Hall behind the sanctuary for coffee and snacks.
Also join us for:
Sunday School: 9am Sundays (September - May)
Wednesday events (September - May): Bible Study (5pm), Kindertheology (5:30pm), Wednesday Evening Meal and Fellowship (6pm), and Choir practices (6:30pm).
What do you offer for my children?
The congregation at Grove Presbyterian Church strives to create a socially friendly, physically safe, and faith forming environment for all children who enter its doors.
Sunday Mornings:
Sunday School (Sept-May)
- Children ages 3 years through Grade 5 begin the Sunday School hour at 9am in the fellowship hall, and then move downstairs and divide into two classrooms.
- Jr. High students (grade 6-8) meet at 9am downstairs in classroom 4.
- High School students (grades 9-12) meet at 9:30am downstairs in classroom 1.
Special events involving intergenerational breakfasts, confirmation class (Grades 7-12), and mission work are integrated into this hour throughout the year.
While your child is in Sunday School, you are invited to take advantage of the adult classes running at the same time.
Worship at 10:30am
Children of all ages are always welcome to our worship services. Bags containing worship-supporting activities for children are found hanging on the giraffe at the front of the sanctuary for those who wish to use them.
Childcare
Our professionally staffed childcare room is available for children 3 years and under during Sunday School and for children 5 years and under during Worhsip.
Fellowship Hour
All are invited after worship to gather in Fellowship Hall behind the sanctuary for coffee and snacks.
Wednesday Evenings:
KinderTheology at 5:30pm
This program integrates developmentally appropriate movement, song, instrument playing, and worship concepts for children birth through 4 years of age and their parents. Registration is required each semester. Contact Lynne Pabst at nurture@grovepres.org with any questions.
Family Meal and Fellowship 6pm
Give yourself a night off from cooking and join us for dinner. The Wednesday evening meal is open to all and is especially convenient for those attending KinderTheology, Bible Study, and Choir.
Children’s Choirs 6:30pm-7:30pm
Children from 5-years of age through 8th grade gather preparing to be engaged worship participants and leaders. The children learn how to use their voices, as well as handbells and other instruments. Each rehearsal includes games to promote good vocal technique, foster focused listening, develop body control and awareness, music theory, and music as a means of worship, praise, prayer, and spiritual development. Music for the regular 10:30am worship services, the 7:00pm Christmas Eve Service and other special services is learned. Children are welcome to try children’s choir whenever they are ready to join.
