Thursdays for Families @ St. James’ is a family favorite, and a defining experience for our children as they grow up in the Christian faith: An opportunity for mid-week worship, education, activities, and dinner for children and parents in a creative environment.
Appropriate for children ages 2-10, accompanied by their parents and/or caregivers.
Thursday is the day to be at church! In addition to our wonderful activities at 4:45 p.m., check out these other wonderful events for Children & Families:
We hope to engage everyone in our parish, including our youngest members, in the most important thing we do: Worship together. Most weeks, Thursdays for Families includes a brief worship service with music, a homily from a member of the clergy, and prayers offered by the children. Once a month we go into the church, for our monthly Family Eucharist — an entire service geared to young children and their families. It takes a form similar to our monthly Sunday morning Children’s Eucharist, with age-appropriate homily, prayers and Communion.
Enjoy creative education time as well, with crafts and activities designed to bring the Bible to life. We divide into two groups for age-appropriate activities and come together again for worship and dinner.
A buffet dinner is served for all families at 5:30 p.m. We are all done by 6:00 p.m.
