Kids/Youth

Sunday School

During the academic year, Sunday School for all ages begins at 9:30 a.m. and runs to 10:15 a.m.  For grades K-6, the children learn about the stories of the Bible in a variety of ways:  drama, music, video clips, food, games, crafts and story-telling.  Sometimes the children will learn short skits of Bible stories that they then will perform during coffee hour after church.  This Fall, we will be using “13 Very Awesome Promises and How God Always Keeps Them” by Standard Publishing.

School backpacks11God’s Kids (Children’s Chapel) Childen are offered a nursery and Sunday School class during the 10:30am eucharist.

 

Youth Ministry

Older youth participate in regular worship as acolytes/altar boys and girls, as readers for the passages of Scripture, as leaders of the Psalms, as musicians.  On occasion, at special youth services, some youth even may give a talk about their faith.  The YOUTH MINISTRY takes place in a series of special events.

Teens at Shepherds Heart2A special class for teenagers is offered in the Guild Room directly after 10:30am Eucharist. Led by the rector, this discussion changes each week, looking at issues of Christian faith and everyday life. The teenagers may plan a mission trip next year and occasionally do local outreach projects.
