Families with young children gather in the Nativity Hall the third Saturday of the month at 4:30 pm for Music Makers & Family Worship Service. After worship a pot-luck dinner is shared with plenty of time to enjoy good food and fellowship!
Music Makers is a fun-filled, interactive class designed for young children and their families to experience the joy of making music together! As families sing, dance and play music in a variety of styles they not only share the delights of making music, they also lay the important groundwork for a child’s lifelong appreciation, enjoyment and connection to music.
Family Worship is a liturgy created especially for young children and their families, keeping in mind the energy, wiggles, giggles and attention span of the very young. Family Worship meets in the Nativity Hall which offers plenty of space for little ones and parents to move as needed throughout the liturgy. Music introduced through the Music Makers class is incorporated into worship and Holy Eucharist is celebrated using grape juice and gluten-free crackers. A delicious potluck dinner follows in the Parish Hall.

Associate Rector James Joiner will lead the Sunday Forums in Lent, which will explore the ideas of sin and mercy and how we can use each for self-examination and community accountability. We tend to have a very loaded idea of what constitutes sin in our tradition, and for good reason! The classification of sins has a notorious history for being used to dominate and manipulate the faithful with misplaced religious authority. Yet we still hold the idea that there is something good that we pursue in our spiritual lives, and part of that involves discerning which parts of our lives as individuals and communities are worth turning away from. Through a comparison with how other religious traditions approach this phenomenon, particularly the teachings from Buddhism on the Five Hindrances, we’ll look at fresh approaches for how to engage Christianity’s use and misuse of sin. In the process, we’ll develop practices for becoming fountains of God’s mercy in our daily lives. All are welcome in the Nativity Hall each Sunday at 10:15 am from March 1 to March 29 for more.
