This Sunday  Moon Pie Summer Kickoff!
This Sunday is the kickoff of our Moon Pie Summer!
This Summer, our children and youth are being integrated into services in meaningful ways, and services will last no longer than one hour, and hopefully a bit less. Plan to attend these relaxed services regularly, and give your children the faith structure they've missed because of a busy school season. |
Summer Sundays begin  16 June
Kids Pre-K to 3rd: a variety of arts, crafts, and games in the downstairs classroom. Rejoin parents for the Eucharist.
4th & 5th grades can cavort downstairs with the youngerkids, or be in church starting at 10am.
Sam Gerner, Youth Minister, will be at the door to invite them to sit with him.
6th-12th grades are in church at 10am seated with the other youth in the front right 2 pews, or with their parents.
