Our goals for children of Christ Church, from birth through 5th grade, are to understand that they are known and loved by God and their church family, and that they belong to God’s family and the family of Christ Church.
Christmas Pageant – Dec. 17
The 2023 Christmas Pageant is scheduled for Sunday, Dec. 17 at 5 p.m. All children 3 years old through 5th grade are welcome and encouraged to be part of this gift to our church! Sign up via this link to reserve a spot.
Cherub Choir
The Christ Church Cherub Choir is comprised of children ages kindergarten through third grade. Rehearsals are held at church on Wednesdays from 4:45-5:30 p.m. We sing in church monthly at the 9 a.m. service and on other occasions including the Christmas Eve family service, Ash Wednesday and Palm Sunday. No experience (or skill) necessary, just a desire to make a joyful noise! Contact Caroline Braswell with questions via carolinebraswell@gmail.com or (919) 271-3935.
Craft Team
The Craft Team preps weekly creative additions to our lessons, especially for our youngest members. All supplies and easy directions are provided. Craft prep can be at home or at church. For more information or to volunteer, please contact Sarah Phipps at sphipps@ccral.org.
Baptism
God gives us new life through the sacrament of Holy Baptism. There are designated Baptism Sundays during the year, typically the second Sunday of the month. When you are ready to plan for your child’s Baptism, please call Anderson Davis at the church office at (919) 834-6259. It is wise to call in advance since it can take up to three months to get on the calendar.
