Children will kick off January with the Season of Epiphany. They will experience and learn about the abundance of the Kingdom of God. “Perhaps we, too, noticed a star and followed it. Or maybe someone led us to the gift of faith. Now we take the Light – the Good News – out into the world. Will others see the light shimmering in us? Will they risk taking a journey into faith with us?”-Episcopal Digital Network
Read on about the exciting events we have planned for children this special month:
Family Worship Service Jan 6 to observe Epiphany
Families, please join us at our 10:30 am family worship on first Sundays, a special time for kids to be hands on and immersed in all we do together in worship. We need youth readers & prayer leaders each month! If your kids are interested in reading our bible lessons or lead prayers, please sign them up here.
We are continuing our journey with mite boxes! Please continue to bring them to Family Worship Service so that you can put them in the collection plate. If you need a mite box for your child, or more information about our mite box project, please contact liza.goodner@stmartininthefields.org.
