All your children shall be taught by the Lord,  
and great shall be the peace of your children!  
Isaiah 54:13 
The beautiful Bible verse above is brought to life in our parishes by dedicated volunteers and employees. You're receiving this email today because your parish has identified you as one of those people.

Bishop Mark has asked me to begin getting to know you and the work you are doing, so that together we can tell the stories of Christian formation and ministry with children in the Diocese of Southwestern Virginia. We hope to build a network to promote best practices and share great ideas.

Pentecost is on the horizon. What are some ways children in your parish will be celebrating this special Sunday and the season that follows? Is there something you've found especially meaningful for them in the past?

You can contact me with ideas, photos, or videos by using the contact information at the bottom of this message or by replying to this email.

I'm looking forward to hearing from you!
