St. Francis Nursery
The St. Francis Nursery operates on Sunday mornings from 9 to Noon, year-round. Two paid staff members care for infants and small children whose parents opt to drop them off before church. All children are always welcome in church or in the nursery.

Sunday School
During the school year, children of any age are welcome to attend Sunday School from 10:00 a.m. to 10:30 a.m. in the Red Classroom, located upstairs adjacent to the Nursery. Children will rejoin their families in the Sanctuary during the Sharing of the Peace. Adults and parents are welcome to help children form their faith through storytelling and song.
