Christian Education
Berwyn Presbyterian Church offers a range of Christian Education programming for our youth. Sunday school is held weekly during the second half of service (with the exception of Communion Sundays, when our children our invited to join us at Christ's table). A special Message for Children is delivered every Sunday by Pastor Laura. Additional opportunities for children and youth include the Acolyte Program, Vacation Bible School in the summer, Youth Choir in the fall and Liturgical Dance during Lent.
Acolytes
In efforts to involve the children in our Worship experience we initiated our very first Acolyte Program here at Berwyn in 2014. The pioneer group of Acolytes have done a tremendous job thus far and we know that they will continue to bring Christ’s Love into our services and carry it along with them wherever they go.
Becoming an acolyte is a very important duty, as we entrust the children with the task of bringing Christ’s light into service, lighting the Christ candle, and carrying it out of the Sanctuary and into the world after worship. It is an opportunity for our children to gain a better understanding of Christ as they sit through the service and participate in its entirety, as well as experience the joy and accomplishment of the very vital task at hand.
Please contact us if you have questions or if your child wants to become part of the Acolyte program.

Youth Choir
Youth Choir runs during the fall through Advent, and ends with a Christmas Pageant, ending with a in December. Children and youth work with adult volunteers and the Christian Education Team to learn Christian songs and holiday favorites, as well as related Bible verses and the Nativity Story.
