Messages from the Children, Youth & Family Ministry
FEB 17 FAMILY NIGHT AND SUNDAY SCHOOL: Sunday, February 17, from 5:30-7:30 in the Zabriskie Parish Hall. All families are invited to join us for what is always a wonderful time of food, fellowship, and fun. This is a quasi-potluck dinner with refreshments. You are welcome, but not required, to bring any additional dishes or beverages. In addition, there will be an activity designed just for adults that evening. All are welcome and the nursery will be opened and staffed for our youngest parishioners.
FEB 17 LET'S EAT!! TIME FOR THIS MONTH'S SR HIGH EYC (Episcopal Youth Community) BREAKFAST CLUB: All youth in the in the 9th grade and up are invited to join us Sunday, February 17, for our monthly EYC Breakfast Club following the 9:00 am Eucharist in the Fairchild Room. Please come for another wonderful morning of fun, friendship, and lots of food. If you haven't been able to join us yet, please don't let that stop you from joining us now. We look forward to seeing you all there.
FEB 17 EYC COFFEE HOUR FOR THE JR HIGH EYC following the 9:00am Eucharist in the EYC Room. This youth-only coffee hour is open to all youth in the 6th through 8th grade. Please stop by for food, music, refreshments, and the opportunity to hang out with friends. This is not a class and does not follow any structure. This is just a casual time for you to have your own space and be yourself while your parents are off doing parental things.
FEB 17 THIRD SUNDAY KIDS' ACTIVITY: Sunday, February 17, after the 9:00am Eucharist, kids are invited to a "Kids' Activity." This is not intended to replace Family Night with Sunday School later that same day. We are also looking for one parent volunteer to help with the activity. See Martha Shimkin or the Rev. John Hogg.

What is Godly Play? This wonderful time is a liturgical program of storytelling, prayer, and reflection that is designed specifically for children 3-7 years old as an alternative to the Liturgy of the Word at the 9:00 a.m. Eucharist. This fantastic ministry is designed to help children worship and learn to know God in a developmentally-appropriate setting. Parents should bring their children to the Godly Play room and return to pick them up during the Passing of the Peace, so that they can join their families and the congregation for Communion.

Sunday School is provided for children from preschool through 5th grade. Except for the third Sunday of every month when Sunday School is offered as part of Family Nights, the classes are typically held on Sunday mornings starting at 10:15 a.m. and ending at 11:00 a.m. (in time for the 11:15 a.m. Eucharist). All classes are held in classrooms on the lower level of Zabriskie Chapel, and parents are asked to pick up their children outside of their classroom. Volunteer teachers provide a loving atmosphere and fun learning activities ranging from storytelling, dramatic play, and art for the youngest children to challenging games and discussions for the 5th graders. Children may join Sunday School on any Sunday - just show up and be ready to have fun!
