Is it ok if people come for the first time to those services? Are kids allowed in the main services?

[adrian-turtle.livejournal.com]

Yes, complete newcomers are very welcome. The main services aren't aimed at kids, but some kids go in and out according to their attention span. If you have little kids who want to stay with you through the whole service, I expect people will just smile at them.

To echo adrian_turtle: Yes, newcomers are very much welcome, and so are kids. Kids tend to participate in the main services according to their own interest levels, and some do just want to sit with their parent rather than be upstairs in the child care room/kids' service, or to go between the two a bit.

Thank you.

I'll just add a little about what we have for children. It's fine for your kids to stay with you in the adult services. For kids over 1 and 1/2 years old, there are also childcare folks working. There's a room on the 2nd floor for littler kids to play in, and there's a nice play structure in the back yard. If the weather is good, often childcare workers and kids are out in back, and the kids can run around and go out and come as much as they like.
