Church School for kids in Grades 1-6 takes place Sundays at 10 am during the program year (September to June.) Children start in the Classroom (off our Parish Hall) and rejoin the congregation at 10:45, prior to Communion. Once a month we have an Intergenerational Service where all ages are encouraged to stay for the service so class does not meet that day. For more information please contact our Church School Coordinator Hannah Berg, office@stpaulswoodbury.org.

For children kindergarten and younger we offer our nursery, equipped with a changing table and rocking chair, new toys and books, and basic cleaning supplies to support the needs of  parents and young children.

During our program year we offer free, professional care, every Sunday from 9:30 am to 11:30 am in the nursery off of the Parish Hall for ages 0-5. Thank you to Nicole, our warm and caring childcare professional from WeeCare Nanny Service.

Youth in Middle School and High School meet monthly on the first and third Wednesdays at 6:00 pm in the Parish Hall. Dinner (free!), games, conversation, connection. Friends are welcome. Drop off at 6 pm, pick up 8:00-8:15 pm

Please contact youth and young adult minister Deb Tickell at youth@stpaulswoodbury.org for more information and to share any food sensitivities/allergies -- we'll make sure to have a dinner everyone can enjoy! 

For as long as people have been worshipping in churches, there have been acolytes who prepared these sacred spaces and assisted the clergy before, during and after the services. The word acolyte comes from the Greek word for follower – akolouthos. 

Serving as an acolyte is a great way to feel connected to worship and offer an important gift as a liturgical assistant. It is our desire to meet our youth where they are and offer inclusive, positive opportunities for each of them based on their interest and abilities.

Contact Bart Geissinger, (845) 389-7371 or bgeissinger@episcopalct.org, to get involved.

Young people are our greatest blessing, and are always welcome in worship at St. Paul’s. There are activity bags in the narthex called Busy Bags which are regularly stocked with coloring pages, crayons, and other quiet activities for use during church. We also offer Sermon Notes worksheets - great for all ages!

At St. Paul’s Rev. Tuesday leads monthly Intergenerational Worship Services, where our sermon is tailored to engage children and adults alike and our younger parishioners often lead worship as greeters, lectors and intercessors, and acolytes. To learn more about Intergenerational Worship contact Rev. Tuesday at rector@stpaulswoodbury.org. To get involved with Youth Acolytes please contact lay-coordinator Bart Geissinger, (845) 389-7371 or bgeissinger@episcopalct.org.

The Children’s Choir offers a fun and engaging way for younger members to participate in worship through song. It’s a great opportunity for kids to learn about music, build teamwork, and deepen their faith.
