through the eyes of a child!

On Sunday, May 31 we will have a special opportunity at the 10:00 service to learn about why we do what we do in our service. As seen through a child's eyes, we will learn from this "Instructed Eucharist."
Insights will be shared that will fascinate children and adults alike. Bring your friends who have questions about the Episcopal tradition.

Note for Sunday School families-please arrive early at church at 9:30am to practice with the choir.
