We love welcoming new life, not only into the world and into the Church, but also at FIRE Nights! We encourage you to bring your newborn with you to this beautiful program of faith formation, specifically on FIRE Nights. For every FIRE Night, which is held monthly (see the calendar for specific dates), we will provide what we affectionately call "FIREstarters," a nursery for all our precious newborns. Of course, you are more than welcome to keep them with you in arms for the whole night as well!
We love having little toddlers at Church, because it perfectly portrays Christ's invitation, "Let the children come to me." It also is a sign that our Church is growing!
Toddlers can participate in FIRE by joining their parents for FIRE Nights. On these nights, parents can decide to either keep their 1-3 year olds with them through the whole night or bring them to our "FIREstarters" program, where volunteers will allow them to experience the theme of the night appropriate to their age.
