Old Whalers' -'A Whale of a Day'
Dear Friends-
Now more than ever, families are searching for places where they feel truly welcome—a space where children and parents alike can grow, connect, and find joy together. At Old Whalers’ Church in Sag Harbor, we invite your family to be part of our vibrant community, where every Sunday is a celebration of togetherness and belonging.
Remember when Sundays were reserved for family and reflection? While times have shifted and our weekends have grown busy, we believe that church can still be an oasis—a place to slow down, reconnect, and build lasting memories with your loved ones and new friends.
We warmly invite you and your children to experience Sunday School in our beautiful, historic church. Our doors—and our hearts—are open to every family, and we can’t wait to welcome you. Here, Sunday School isn’t just about learning, it's about living our faith in fun and memorable ways - through laughter, creativity, and friendship. Children sing, play, make art, and discover what it means to be loved and to love in return—all while building bonds that last for years.
Research by Lisa Miller, author of The Spiritual Child, shows how children who grow up in spiritual communities are more resilient, compassionate, and confident—qualities that benefit them throughout life. Sunday School at Old Whalers’ is designed to help your children grow into their best selves, surrounded by caring adults and peers.
Whether you’re new to Sag Harbor or your family has deep roots here, you are welcome here. Every child is cherished, every parent is valued, and every family is celebrated. There’s a place for you in our circle.
Come join us Sunday, September 14th at 10 AM—bring your children, their friends, and your own curiosity. Discover a place where your family can thrive, make friends, and share in the joy of community and faith.
We look forward to seeing you!
With all good wishes,
Rev. Nancy Remkus
