Children & Youth

The guiding philosophy

 At Holy Spirit, we encourage children to develop their spirituality. As they grow, their classes change and they spend more time discussing what the Bible is saying to them and how to use its teachings to guide them. They also explore other ways to connect with God; as acolytes during the worship service, through Communion and Confirmation classes, by cooking for homeless shelters, through Vacation Bible School, and by being a community of friends who worship together.

​What they do

At Holy Spirit, children and youth can get involved in Sunday School, special services for children, Lenten Programs, Vacation Bible School, Youth Groups, Confirmation classes, serving on the altar, outreach activities, and more. We currently have two classes: Kindergarten to 6th grade which meets every Sunday (September through June) at 9:55am, and a 7th through 12th grade class that meets monthly on Sunday at 9:55am (see our website calendar for when they next meet). On weeks when the Junior/High School Class does not meet, these students may serve as acolytes, assist/lead Sundays School classes or join their parents for the entire worship service.

All children are welcome and may begin at any time during the year!

Next Children's Eucharist is Sunday, October 29 at 10am

Picture
We will host another of our Children's Eucharist on Sunday, Sunday, October 29 at 10am with our Sunday School students assisting Father Jerry at the altar (he needs a lot of help, you know). The 10am Service is sure to be VERY interactive with Father Jerry asking our students questions before the start of the Eucharistic Prayer. It is great fun for children and those young at heart!

Be sure to join us in-person OR via Zoom to participate, pray and probably laugh.
