Prayground

We welcome children of all ages as important members of the body of Christ and of our congregations. We offer several Praygrounds in our worship spaces. These small tables are stocked with activities for young children who might not yet attend church school or who may need something to keep them occupied during worship. The prayground is not intended to be a nursery; instead it is intended to be a space for parents to sit with their children in an area that is designed for them!

Parents of Little Ones (POLO)

All parents of little ones birth-preschool age are welcome! This group meets on the first and third Sundays of the month from 3:30-4:30pm and is an opportunity to gather with other parents whose lives are equally messy, joyful, difficult, and full of transition. We will start with story time as a group in the nursery and then break off so parents can have some time to connect with each other.

Welcome to Baptism Class

We welcome all to the font at Sharon. Baptisms are usually performed during worship. In preparation for baptism, we ask that you attend one of our “Welcome to Baptism” classes. Sponsors, if available, are welcome to attend in addition to parents or the individual to be baptized if applicable. Please contact the office (701-772-3122) for the schedule of when the next class will be offered.

This one-hour class is designed to help answer questions about baptism, including:

• What is Baptism?
• When should baptism occur?
• What is my role as a parent, sponsor, or family member of the baptized?

Milestone Ministries

We will be hosting Milestone Ministries events for each age/grade level. These may take place via Zoom, or if CDC, County, and City guidelines permit, we may host these as in-person sessions in small groups (socially distant, with masks required and families seated around tables). Please follow the link below and register your learner(s) on the appropriate sign-up. Reminders and other details will be emailed closer to the events.
