The Sanctuary “Wiggle Room”
We love the "joyful noise" that young children and families bring to our sacred space! Around the sanctuary
you'll find worship bags with books to read and pages to color. You'll also find a "Wiggle Room" located in the
Narthex. This is a space for families that may want a little extra room... to change diapers, nurse, or even for a
small change of pace for little ones. Feel free to use the wiggle room whenever you need, equipped with
toys, books, puzzles, and more to enjoy while listening to worship. We want you to feel at home, to make our
place your space.

Shoes without laces, use rubber-bands to keep the pair together. Clean out your closet and benefit others - win-win-win! Ushers Needed! Are you friendly and outgoing?

Fairmount is a member of More Light Presbyterians, which means that we are one of over 230 churches and thousands of individuals in the country who are joined together to serve, support and advocate with and for the LGBTQIA+ community. More Light Presbyterians’ Mission Statement says: “Following the risen Christ, and seeking to make the Church a true community of hospitality, the mission of More Light Presbyterians is to work for the full participation of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, intersex, and asexual (LGBTQIA+) people in the life, ministry and witness of the Presbyterian Church (USA) and in society.” You may have seen this logo around our church. Here’s more about what it means: “MLP’s logo reflects our mission and incorporates the communion elements of bread and wine, as well as rainbow colors evocative of stained glass church windows. These elements express the hospitality of Christ, and of the welcoming church movement, and the theology and practice of the open table. We are called together as many grains that form one bread. We share one cup.” Fairmount is proud to be a part of this community! For more information you can visit their website: www.mlp.org, or talk to one of our pastors.
