Children & Youth Education

Advent offers opportunities for lifelong growth in the knowledge and love of God to all. From our Godly Play program for our youngest parishioners to weekly adult Bible study, Advent offers a variety of programs for seekers of all ages and stages in one’s spiritual journey.

Please contact the church office at 610-444-4624 for information on joining any of these programs.

Children in pre-k and elementary grades are invited to join in Sunday school each Sunday from late September through early May, from 9:45 am to 10:45 am. Each Sunday, all pre-k and elementary students will gather briefly in the Children's Chapel at 9:45; afterward, they will split into a lower elementary class and an upper elementary class. The lower elementary class will use the Godly Play curriculum, a Montessori-inspired, story-based program that invites children into the stories of Scripture. Upper elementary students will engage with meaningful, Scripture-based stories and lessons through Sermons4Kids. This fall, we are focusing on a different Old Testament story each week, shared through the life of one character, in both classrooms.

Students in grades six through twelve are invited to join Rev. Tim for Sunday school each Sunday morning from late September through early May, from 9:45 am to 10:45 am, in the Youth Room. This class will primarily focus on the life of Jesus revealed in the appointed Gospel reading each week. In addition, the class will explore the meaning of the sacraments, ways of praying, discerning God's presence in daily life, and our Christian vocation to strive for justice and peace. In addition, students in this class will help with the maintenance of the congregation's "Little Free Food Pantry."

At Advent, we do not have a separate confirmation preparation program; rather, two years of faithful participation in this class meets the requirements for confirmation.

Upcoming Events

The Nursery at Advent

Dear Families, We are so glad to have you worshipping at Advent and want you to be comfortable here. Please know that your children are more than welcome in the worship service and we don't mind their joyful noises. "Children are a heritage from the Lord" (Psalm 128:4). There are coloring supplies and more in the narthex. If you wish to take your child out of the sanctuary, there are two spaces set up you are welcome to use: 1. The lobby area to the right of the altar has some toys and books. You'll be able to hear the service from this area. 2. The nursery downstairs next to the kitchen has lots of toys, a crib, and diapering supplies. Please make your child and yourself comfortable in any of these spaces and let an usher know if there is anything we can do to support you and your family.
