For Families & Children

Watch a recent Family Service
Family Worship Service
2nd Saturdays, 4pm
Children, like all of us, are hungry for meaning and understanding. Parents and extended family are invited to this joyful child-oriented celebration of Spirit. Family Service includes storytelling, singing, a fire ceremony, and meditation. It’s a rare opportunity for families to deepen their spirituality together, in a way that touches every age, young and young-at-heart.
Sunday School

Every Sunday, 10-11 am, ages 6-12
Offered Sept 1-June 15
Children join together in worship and joy with an experienced facilitator from 10-11 am. This can include chanting, yoga postures, meditation, stories of inspiration, devotion, art, and song. At 11, all children have a period of supervised play. And at 11:30 am, all children come into the Temple for the closing Service blessing.
CHILD CARE
Regrets; child care isn’t offered during Service at this time. But it’s something we like to offer if we can. When it’s available again, you’ll see it here.
