St. Matthew's Episcopal Church Ministries for Children and Youth
Nursery is a co-operative
program that involves volunteer adults and some of our teen-aged
parishioners. It is provided as a convenience for parents who wish to use
it. All children are welcome during worship, as well.
Sunday School is available for all children from pre-school (aged 3) to
eighth grade. We have teams of teachers for each class. Sunday
School runs from September to June. Children begin in class and then join
their families at worship for Communion. The second Sunday of each month
is Family Sunday. There is no Sunday School and the Junior Choir sings
the Offertory Anthem.
Junior Choir is available to all children from grades 2 through 8 who
wish to sing. Rehearsals are after the worship service during coffee
hour. The Junior Choir sings the Offertory Anthem on Family Sundays (the
second Sunday of each month) as well as at the early services on Christmas Eve
and Easter. Sarah Ambrogi is the Director.
Acolytes is a ministry for
those parishioners 4th grade through adult who wish to assist at the Altar
during worship. There are training meetings scheduled throughout the
year. If you are interested, contact the Rector at 497-2003 or e-mail him
