CPC Kids Faith Formation

The children will remain in the Sanctuary for the full worship service and Grace Space will be available.
Children will start in worship each Sunday. After Growing with God they will either remain in the sanctuary to participate in the full service or will go with our teacher volunteers to participate in faith formation class.
​
What to Expect During Worship?
At CPC we want worshippers of all ages to feel welcome and included in worship. Children can create their own worship bag before entering the sanctuary to enjoy while sitting with their family in the pew or join other children in Grace Space at the front of the sanctuary.
Grace Space is an inclusive space for children to utilize during worship. It is located on the north side of the Sanctuary, in front of the chancel.
There will be 2-3 adults sitting with the kids to help them navigate the worship service. Parents are welcome to sit nearby! ​​​​​​

Mission Opportunities
CE-C Community Mission Project
September 28 - October 19
​Each night in the United States, an estimated 600,000 people live on the streets. We want to show that even a small act of love, such as donating a pair of socks, can make a big difference in the lives of our neighbors. This year our socks will be benefiting Metropolitan Family Services which runs the only Domestic Violence shelter in DuPage County.
This is a perfect chance for your child to show kindness to others...encourage them to earn some money and then help them pick out socks to bring to church!
During the drive, boxes will be in the Narthex for sock donations
