About
Children and Youth Programs at Christ Church Short Hills include Sunday Church School, Sunday School, nursery child care, an annual Christmas pageant, and programs on faithful giving. Children take part in worship by delivering the offering to the altar at The Presentation. In the Christmas pageant, children take on the roles of biblical characters to lead worship on the fourth Sunday of Advent, and all children are welcome to participate.
• Ages: 0–10 years old
• Schedule: Sunday Church School for infants through 5th grade meets every Sunday at 9:45, with child care for ages 0–3 from 9:45am to 11:30am and Sunday School for preschoolers through 5th grade during the 10:00am Ministry of the Word
The nursery is located in the back of the Parish Hall, where children are invited to play and rest with the guidance of teachers. Preschoolers through 5th grade attend Sunday School during the 10:00am Ministry of the Word and then join worship for the Eucharist. Early learners are taught using storytelling and play to help them develop a liturgical language of faith, and older children walk through the life of Christ using the scriptures in the lectionary. Weekly lessons correspond with texts used in worship so that children and parents can review together what was learned in church, and all children will be learning the books of the Bible throughout the coming year.
The program states that children develop life-long habits of worship and service at the youngest ages and expresses a desire for each child to have a deep relationship with God from birth. It states that programs for children and teens are designed to help young and growing Christians embrace the language of faith. Children learn about stewardship through programs on faithful giving and by participating in worship by delivering the offering to the altar at The Presentation. The church is part of the Anglican Communion, the Episcopal Church in the USA, and the Episcopal Diocese of Newark.
