Recently, a parent came up to me excited about the involvement of youth in our church. Everywhere she had walked that day, there were children. They were learning, singing and praying. They were laughing, and enjoying their time at St. Paul’s.

She’s right. The children are everywhere. They’re acolytes and readers. They take care of toddlers. Hear the drumming at the 8:30 am service? That’s a fifth grader, Jesse-Ray. There are youth groups and choirs. The Church School itself has over 100 children signed up. St. Paul’s has become a very active place for children and youth. In the last few years, we have made great strides in making our children feel welcome. Watch the interaction between the clergy and children during the children’s message. You will see how blessed we are here. The future of our church is actively participating and enjoying life here at St. Paul’s. What an exciting concept.

We welcome youth to any of our activities throughout the year. Friends are welcome. We might sing, or pray, play games like Fear Factor Bible edition, or do crafts like make Valentines for shut-ins. Activities vary, but everyone is always welcome.
