Children's Formation
Children and their formation are at the heart of St. Matthew’s life. We are committed to the inclusion of children as full members of the congregation in all respects, with deliberate attention given to children’s progressive participation in the liturgy.
Children are always welcome at the Eucharist, receiving Communion along with the adults. A Children’s table at the back of the church has various activities and books for children to use as they absorb the sights, sounds, smells and rhythm of the ritual that is central to our life as Christians. If your child is participating in our Children’s Formation programming, you may accompany them to the assembly room or to their atrium upstairs before you make your way to your own activity. At the conclusion of the Children’s Formation program, the children will be escorted by their teachers to the church (generally, after the sermon) where children will join their families for Communion.
