Dear St. John’s parents,
This week is All-ages Worship! The gospel reading for this week is the story of the prodigal son, which Fr. Ed will doing Godly Play-style. The choristers will be singing and youth will be participating by reading, acolyting, and ushering. These services are designed to appeal to people of all ages, so please plan to attend. Families should come directly into church and sit together.
During Lent, we focus on three main tenets: prayer, giving, and fasting (or taking something on). To illustrate the importance of giving, we are encouraging Sunday School children to bring an item to our Food Pantry drive. We have a special box in the Sunday School where we are collecting items—please see here for details.
Faith at Home!
Fr. Ed has put together a small book for the children in our Sunday School and their families, Praying Through Lent, following the Godly Play Faces of Easter series. Please use this resource each week in Lent for scripture readings and prayers. It can be found here.
Warm regards,
Alexis
