Re: Lutheran community which is great for kids
I've been going to Christ Lutheran in El Cerrito with my kids (ages 6 & 3) for several years now. It is a small, neighborhood church at the corner of Ashbury & Stockton. We are very happy there. Because the church is so small, there are only a handful of young families, but they are all nice people. There are probably 3-5 families with young children, and my children have had a lot of fun playing with the other kids. The best thing for kids is really our ''Worship on Wednesdays''. We meet at 5:30 or so on Wed. evenings for some fun activity or playtime, then have a very child-friendly worship service from 6:00-6:20 or so, and then we have a simple meal (we take turns providing it). This draws more kids/families than the Sunday services, and is a lot of fun, too. I'd say there are probably 5-7 families that participate, plus other adults. Summer is not the best time for family activities at Christ Lutheran, because of travel, but we'll resume in the fall. Hope you can check it out! Christine
