Childrens' Ministry
All Saints’ Episcopal Church has a vibrant and growing community of children and youth. Young people are very involved in the life of the church, and are weclomed and included in all worship services. They can be found serving as greeters, acolytes, and readers. The 11:00 service offers a nursery for babies, toddlers and preschooler. In addition, a Children’s Chapel is available during the 11:00 AM service, for those K – 6th graders who wish to attend. Children typically attend the beginning of the Eucharist with their families, and those who wish are invited to go to Children’s Chapel with the leaders. They return before the offertory and participate in the remainder of the service with their family. Parents who choose to use the nursery usually come and get their babies and children right before communion so that they can go up to the altar as a family.
During advent, preparations are beginning for the Christmas Pageant which is given at the 4:00 PM service on Christmas Eve. Any children or youth who wish to be involved should contact Cynthia Benkelman by December 12. Also in advent, the lighting of the advent wreath and is done by the children at the beginning of the 11:00 AM service. All kids are invited to come to the front during the procession to take part in this.
Cynthia Benkelman serves as the Christian Formation Minister for children and youth at All Saints’, and can be contacted at 406-862-0413.
