Dear Parents, Immanuel Lutheran Church wants your children in worship! We know that sometimes it seems difficult. We hope that you continue to teach your children how to participant in worship. If you feel that your children are disruptive we ask that you take the following steps: Begin by presenting something new to them. We provide "Little Lutheran Bags" in the Narthex entrance with several items for small children. Ask an usher or pick one up before you are seated. Stay as long as you can in the sanctuary, many of us are parents and understand if the child is making some noise. If you feel the need to leave the sanctuary, have one parent take the child to the Chapel in the back of the sanctuary. We have set aside an area for children to play while the parent continues to worship. Please do not take your whole family to the Chapel. Return to worship with your family as soon as you feel your child has settled down. The Chapel is also appropriate for babies that are crying and need to be comforted. We are pleased that you choose to worship as a family. From experience we know that there are great benefits for a family that shares an hour of worship together. Please tell us how we can be of any more assistance to your worship experience. Contact Sheila Thomack our Director of Family Ministry with any questions you may have. CLOSE WINDOW
