Children's Ministry
As the school year draws to a close, the Children’s Christian Formation team is making plans for the summer:
Sunday May 19
The monthly parish potluck will feature a fiesta with taco bar, pinatas, and formal recognition of the joy and wonder children bring to our lives. We look forward to seeing and celebrating your children this Sunday!
Sunday May 26
Following the 10 am service, children are invited to assist the gardening group in planting Mary’s Garden, which is located on the east side of the sanctuary. During this time, there will also be an adult education presentation on financial planning.
Throughout the summer, we will offer lectionary-based stories and activities for children of all ages in Waldren Hall during the 10 am service. Children will rejoin their families in time for the Eucharist.
The CCF team is making plans to organize informal, fun summer activities for families and children on Tuesday evenings. Watch this space for more information!
