Sunday Mornings during
10:00am Worship
(Maria Navarette, Gail Ansheles, Destiny Munoz)
Children's Ministry Chair Karen Wilbanks
Youth and older children help lead us through Lent Sundays, Holy Week (leading us into the shadows of Maundy Thursday), caring for creation on Good Friday, and then leading us into Easter’s new light and life!
Throughout March, they’ll also help us care for our neighbors and all creation—and we’ll also have a special Lent activity the whole family can join in, even during Spring Break!
Palm Sunday Practice for Easter
After joining in the Palm Sunday processional, children with go with Dana, Maria, and Destiny to get acquainted and also learn a Native American “Heleluyan” that they and their parents will lead the congregation in the 10:00 Easter service. We’ll send a practice link as well!
Good Friday Morning (April 18)
All youth, children, parents, and other adults are invited to care for creation—and get the church grounds ready for Easter Sunday. Pruning, trash pickup, raking— there’s something for everyone on a beautiful April morning.
Easter Sunday
Children’s Ministry for youngest ones during worship.
An Easter Piñata for everyone after worship!
