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.

If you’d like a place for your little one to enjoy while you enjoy worship, Noah’s Nursery is a joyful, warm and caring space led by trained, professional childcare providers. We work closely with our parents to ensure that children are comfortable and happy so all can enjoy their Sunday morning experience. Babies through kindergarten are welcome in the nursery.
Youth Group
Youth in grades 6 - 12 are invited to explore their faith, form friendships and have fun all while in a group formed just for them. We are a welcoming, active group that enjoys coming together. Contact Barbara Harris for more information.
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.
