Nursery care is available at both the 8:15am and 11:00am services, as well as during the Sunday School hour, for children Pre-K and younger. Your little ones can be dropped off and picked up in our Seedlings Classroom found on the 1st floor down the hall from our Sanctuary. Not sure where that is? No worries! Just follow the signs or ask one of our greeters!
Our paid nursery staff and volunteers have years of childcare experience, are fully background checked, and trained according to Safe Sanctuaries best practices. *Safe Sanctuaries is a program developed by the United Methodist Church to protect children and vulnerable adults. To view WUMC’s policy tailored to our local context, see below.
We welcome kids K - 5th grade to our Godly Play circle during the Sunday School hour (9:30-10:30am). This is a time to slow down and spend time with God in sacred story, wondering, and creative response. This hour together focuses on forming our youngest disciples in the stories of the people of God so that they can see how God has always been with us and is always with them. Your family can be a part of Godly Play anytime, no sign up or registration required. Parents can drop off and pick up in the Children's Worship room (in the hallway behind the sanctuary), and we encourage adults to try out the Perspectives Class (Rm. 171) at the same time.
At Williamsburg UMC, we design worship for all ages to respond and grow in deeper relationship with the God who is always reaching out to us in love. Following the Moment of Teaching during the 11am service, our children grades K-4 are invited to Children’s Worship. We’ll gather in the Children’s Worship Space next to the sanctuary to explore a Bible story, sing songs, and respond to God through crafts and games. Kids will return to the sanctuary to sit with their families following the sermon.
Join us every Sunday from 12:30-2:00 pm in the Youth Room for an exciting blend of faith, fun, and fellowship. We start by playing games and sharing a meal before exploring a Bible story through study, creativity, prayer, and wondering how God is calling us to love our neighbors.
