The children are not the future of the church, they are the church.
- Father Matt Most Sundays during the academic year we offer Sunday School for children and youth. Kids are invited during the first part of the worship service--the part called the Service of the Word--to join our young adult Grace Year fellow in the Choir Room and talk about the Bible lesson of the day. They come back during the Peace and participate in Holy Communion. Then students and teachers leave after receiving communion and go to the Parish Hall classroom for activities and lessons on the theme of the day. We have an awesome group of volunteer teachers. Once a month the children join in helping sing a song or present some other part of the worship service under the leadership of Heather Guarnini. Children are always welcome to stay for the whole service if they prefer--and Father Matt offers a Holy Communion class in the spring for young readers.
