Christian Formation for Children
Children’s Sunday School is at 10 AM at Ascension in the undercroft the first and third Sundays of the month, usually concluding so the children can receive Communion with their parents. Children welcome to assist ushers in worship duties the second and fourth Sundays of the month.
Children’s Sunday School is at 1 p.m. at Little Shepherd in the Parish Hall the first Sunday of the month, concluding before the 2 p.m. service so families can worship with the rest of the congregation. Children always welcome to serve as acolytes, lectors, and ushers.
