During this time we will offer all an opportunity to learn the specifics of each particular ministry and ways that Covid has changed how we do the ministry.

It is also an opportunity for new people to sign up for these ministries.  Whether you are continuing in one or both of these ministries or are new, please click here to tell us you are coming so we can have adequate refreshments and training materials.

Note:  Persons as young as 6th Grade can be trained as a Lector.  Young people 16 and older can serve as a Lay Eucharistic Minister.  It is highly recommended that all  who serve as a Lector or LEM be Confirmed or planning to be Confirmed (or Received).  For questions please contact Fr. Ram, Susan Alwais (LEM’s) or Pam Carter (Lectors).

By | Family Ministry, Fellowship | No Comments

On Sunday, April 3 and April 10, during Children’s Chapel at the 10:00 AM worship service, we will be doing an Interactive Stations of the Cross designed just for kids! The stations will be divided up and completed over the two Sundays: Stations 1-7 on April 3 and Stations 8-14 on April 10. This very special and engaging Stations of the Cross is formatted especially for the young hearts & minds of children in kinder through 5th grade. It will introduce your kids to the very heart of the Christian story, Jesus’ Passion. There are simple activities for each Station that we will do together that will further enhance the experience, as well as coloring pages for each station. It will be a wonderful and spiritual experience that will help children prepare their hearts for Easter morning! If your kids will not be present on these Sundays, you may click here for the Interactive Stations of the Cross to print and do at home together.
