Parent Info

Participate in Youth Sunday School as a Volunteer or Guest

Whenever we baptize someone in the Episcopal Church, everyone present is asked, "Will you who witness these vows do all in your power to support these persons in their life in Christ?" Volunteering in Formation classes for children and youth is one clear way to live into our response, "We will!" If you are interested in serving in Sunday morning Formation or attending as a guest, please contact Hannah Flack.

Parenting Faithfully: A NEW Adult Sunday School Class!

Join us for a new class for parents! Parenting Faithfully will meet weekly in All Saints Center Room 103 from 9:30 - 10:15 AM. We will have an informal discussion of Sticky Faith: Everyday Ideas to Build Lasting Faith in Your Kids by Dr. Kara E. Powell and Dr. Chap Clark. The book is an easy read that offers both rationale and strategy for encouraging your children's spiritual growth so they have a faith that will stick with them as they leave for college and beyond. Each week is a separate stand-alone topic so don't worry if you haven't read the chapter for the week. Questions? Contact Caroline Avinger.
