It’s time for one of St. Paul’s sweetest annual traditions: Children and Youth Sunday, when we turn the service over to the kids!

We hope to fill the pews with the joyful presence, wonder, and yes, even the noise, of St. Paul’s children and youth – from babies to teenagers. One of the best parts of this day is watching kids of many ages step into “big kid” roles in worship.

All three children’s and youth choirs will sing, and there are many other ways to help lead the service, including serving as an acolyte, usher, lector, or altar guild helper.

The Episcopal Church firmly believes that children and youth of all ages and stages are full participants in weekly worship. Whether it’s babies wailing from the pews, toddlers climbing over the altar rail, or acolytes giggling during a long sermon, all our kids are essential to St. Paul’s community as we witness and live out the gospel.

We hope families with children of all ages will show up and represent our vibrant community of young people! 

And, Trinity Sunday is our last day of church school and the program year. After the 9 a.m. service, church school students and their adults will celebrate with a popsicle party in the courtyard and take a moment to cheer on all the kids who are moving up to new classrooms next year. We will also honor our volunteer church school teachers! We hope you’ll join us!
