Programs for Children and Youth
Children must be brought up in the knowledge and love of the Lord and young people need instruction and support to translate the teachings of their early years into a mature faith as adults.
Nursery Care
Our nursery is in the parish hall. Adult supervision is provided during the Sunday Mass service.
Church Sunday School
Our Sunday school program for children is in the parish hall during the Mass. The children are divided into three groups:
-
kindergarten through third grade;
-
fourth through sixth grade; and
-
seventh through twelfth grade.
The children cover a variety of material learning the elements of Christian faith through instruction and explanation of the 1928 Book of Common Prayer, Bible stories, and the teachings of the church. Periodically the children perform special religious programs for the congregation. A pre-Confirmation class is offered as a preparation for the Confirmation class conducted by the rector. Children rejoin their families in the sanctuary for a blessing at Communion time and for the remainder of the service.
Torchbearers
Boys of the parish ten and up are eligible to serve as torchbearers who assist the priest in liturgical services as members of the Acolyte Guild.
