Church School NewsMay brought a celebration of youth at St. Paul’s. On the 22nd, the children were honored during the services. This was a culmination of all their hard work during the year. The Church School sang, the Fifth Grade class performed the roles during the family service, and the Confirmation Class was recognized during the 10:30 service. Thank you to all the parents, teachers and others who made this a success.
The youth have supported many different ministries here this year. Some are:
- Toddler care workers and classroom helpers
- Acolytes, readers, choir members during the services
- Waiters, waitresses, busboys and runners during the Art Festival
- Kitchen helpers at Wednesday Night Live
- Coffee Hour helpers
- Soup kitchen and food pantry volunteers
- They helped pack, and make ornaments and cards for the food baskets
- They made valentines for home-bound parishioners.
We are very proud of all that these youth have done in our community. Take a walk around the Parish House this week. Look at the gardens. The children worked very hard to care for God’s world, and to clean up and beautify our Church. They weeded, planted, and helped Dennis clear out some long-disappeared garden beds. This summer when the Parish House is quiet, look around at the gardens and remember that children, as young as three, planted these flowers and helped make this a beautiful place to live and worship.
We celebrate these youth and embrace them as they grow in God’s love. They are the future of St. Paul’s, and the future is bright indeed.
