Children's Ministry
See you this Sunday evening at 5:05 for the Family Eucharist! 
Our Singing Saints and Acolytes will be singing and serving!

Since there is a children's liturgy Sunday night there is no Godly Play or Explorers at 10:00. Children are welcome in the service. 

Soon we will assign Christmas pageant roles. If your child would like to have a speaking part in the pageant, please let Elise Jones know. We have six speaking parts. All speaking parts require attendance at rehearsals (12/6, 12/13, 12/20, and 12/24).

Youth Ministry
Youth group joins the parish supper and Advent Wreath making from 6-8 this Sunday. This is a super fun event for all ages.

Beginning in Advent we will have youth acolytes! Please see the schedule below to check when you child has been asked to serve and make any changes he/she needs well before the date he/she has been assigned. It will be such a joy to have youth acolytes!

Questions or ideas, let's talk.  Contact Rev. Mary
With gratitude, joy, and blessings,

December 2 at 7:00 pm
 screening and conversation 
 about the documentary film, Bully

All Parents and older teens are invited to the special screening of the documentary movie: BULLY. The film BULLY is a beautifully cinematic, character-driven documentary. At its heart are those with huge stakes in this issue whose stories each represent a different facet of America's bullying crisis. BULLY documents the responses of teachers and administrators to aggressive behaviors that defy "kids will be kids" clichés, and it captures a growing movement among parents and youths to change how bullying is handled in schools, in communities and in society as a whole.

This movie includes suicide and some topics that may be inappropriate for young children.
