Children and Family Ministries

On January 5th, 2015, Bishop Provenzano consecrated the altar of our new Children’s Chapel, bringing to completion the renovation of our Sunday School and beginning a new era in our Christian Formation program.

Children and youth are an active and vital part of our parish and our beautiful new Children’s Chapel and Sunday School are a reflection of how important they are to our community life. 

From September to June, our children gather each Sunday at 10:15am, attend a brief prayer service in the Children’s Chapel, watch a short cartoon, and then disperse into separate classrooms to learn about the lesson for the day. Once the children are done with their lesson, they join their parents upstairs in the church in time to participate in communion.

 

Our Sunday School uses Whirl, which is a lectionary-based sunday school curriculum, meaning that our children are hearing the same bible lesson read downstairs that we are hearing upstairs. Parents are encouraged to take an active role in the faith formation of their children and to talk with their kids about the lesson learned that day.
