Pray-ground
At St. Andrew, as Jesus did, we welcome children of all ages as integral members of the body of Christ,
and we welcome the sounds and activity that accompany them!
We also understand that it takes a village to raise a child. A few tips for engaging our families with small children include:
The Pray-Ground is a space in the sanctuary that is intended especially for families with infants and toddlers recognizing that small kids are often more engaged when they can see what's going on. A small table and chairs, baby bouncers and seats, and soft toys help to keep our littlest ones occupied.

We also understand that it takes a village to raise a child. A few tips for engaging our families with small children include:
- Greeting/learning the names of the young children who sit near you in worship.
- Offering to read or color with one child during worship, especially if another child in the family is fussy or upset.
- Helping preschoolers and elementary-aged kids to navigate the liturgy, locate the hymns, etc. (Children learn to worship by participating!)
- Inviting kids to serve alongside you in worship, as greeters, ushers, acolyte, etc.
- Recognizing that certain conditions or disabilities are not visible and some children (and adults) may make noises or act in ways that seem strange or upsetting, but are perfectly normal for their situation.
- Celebrating that God put the wiggle in children, and that children's "mode of being" in worship is intrinsically more vocal and more physical that that of adults.
