Vacation Bible School 2025
July 28-31, 5 to 8 PM
This summer, St. Andrew's and Hilton Presbyterian will again be hosting VBS – ROAD TRIP: ON THE GO WITH GOD, July 28-31 (Monday through Thursday) from 5:00 to 8:00 p.m. This is a marvelous outreach opportunity to bring the Good News to families in our churches and community and to cultivate a lifetime faith for the children. There will be numerous volunteer opportunities for kitchen staff to help prepare simple, bag dinners, guides to lead the groups to their activities, as well as leaders and helpers in crafts, recreation, and music. Please consider your talents and how you can contribute to a successful VBS. When we have a volunteer roster, we’ll know the number of students we can accept. We’re hoping to accept more kids this year! To volunteer, contact the church office.

Nursery
The nursery is open Sunday mornings 9 am to noon for children newborn to age 3. It is staffed by paid professionals who have completed Safe Church training and a background check. 

Children's Chapel
Children aged 4 through 5th grade are invited to join us every Sunday during the school year during the 10:30 worship service. Meet the teachers on the Ferguson Ave. playground at 10:15. After some recreation time, the children go inside and are separated into older and younger age groups for a lesson based on that Sunday's lectionary. Children return to parents in worship in time for Communion. All our Children's Chapel volunteers are safe-church trained and background checked. 

Youth Group
St. Andrew's partners with Hilton Presbyterian for a Youth Grouop for grades 6-12.  Contact Ginny Chilton, Supervisor of Children's & Youth Ministry, at St. Andrew's, to learn more. If your youth has any questions about what to expect, Ginny will be delighted to talk to you both. We look forward to seeing you and your friends there!

Acolytes
Children and youth are invited to participate in worship, performing a variety of ceremonial duties during the service. Contact the church office if your child would like to join this ministry.
