This year, we have offered some creative options as Christian formation.
- Sunday Evening Bedtime Stories: Many of our church members put together Sunday Evening Bedtime stories for the kids in the congregation to be able to hear a church story! We also had crafts at the church to pair with the stories! Check some of them out here.
- Family Zoom Church: Starting in 2022, we are offering a Sunday Family Service from 9 am – 9:20 am. This is for families to attend and offers a chance to sing, dance, pray and hear a Bible story together. Come join us and give Family church a try. Contact Mia at mia@saintmarysepisocopal.org to learn more.
- Lego Animation Formation: We held a youth-led class for children to learn how to do lego animation. The children worked on lego animation stories for advent. Check out the stories they created here!
Special Children’s Events
Every Christmas we hold the Christmas Pageant, and children are welcome to participate at any age. This year, the Pageant will be online!
In a typical year we also hold a Children’s Easter Vigil every Holy Saturday, where some older children re-enact bible stories and we celebrate the first Easter Eucharist. Last year, we did our Children’s Easter Vigil online. Check it out!
