Children & Youth

Children’s Ministry

Children of all ages will find a welcoming and nurturing home at St. Peter’s in the Woods, where we come together to learn about God, make friends and have fun!

Children are warmly welcomed at any of our worship services. If helpful, we have worship activity supplies for younger children to enjoy during the service.

Children of all ages are also welcome to receive Holy Communion. When we baptize children, we welcome them into the family of God, as full members of God’s church. Once we are baptized, regardless of age, we are welcome to receive Communion. If you would prefer for your child to receive a blessing, please let the priest know when you come up for communion.

Vacation Bible School at St. Peter's in the Woods!

Monday, July 13 - Friday, July 17
9:30 a.m. - 12:30 p.m. (optional aftercare available until 3:00 p.m.)

Join us for a joyful week of faith, friendship, and fun! Our Vacation Bible School is packed with hands-on crafts, energetic games, music, and engaging Bible stories designed to help children grow in confidence, creativity, and faith.

This year’s theme, “We Are God’s Masterpiece,” invites children to explore God’s beautiful creation, discover how each of us is made in God’s image, and celebrate the loving plans God has for our lives.

VBS is open to children ages 5-10 with discounted rates available for registered parish members.

Come create, play, sing, and discover just how wonderfully made we are. ✨ Spots are limited—REGISTER TODAY and give your child a week they’ll never forget!

Youth Acolytes

Kids ages 9 and older are invited to consider being an acolyte, assisting the priests in worship. Acolytes are a vital part of our worship team. Serving as an acolyte is a wonderful way to experience church and get to know other kids.
