we offer:
 The Nest is our certified childcare program designed for
children under the age of 4. The Nest opens prior to the 10:00
service in our nursery space on the third floor. Tuta Shurdha
is our certified Nest coordinator, and she is accompanied by a
volunteer parent or teen assistant. If you would like to use this
service, please ask one of the sidespeople to direct you to the
Nest.
 PromiseLand is our church school for children from the ages
of 5 to 12. The children meet in the church at 10:00 am, and
then move to the St. Nicholas Chapel during the opening
hymn. Natalie Kemp is our Director of Children’s Education,
and would be happy to tell you more about Promiseland.
 YAL – Young Anglican Leaders meet regularly for learning,
fellowship and fun. Please speak with Natalie Kemp for more
