Ministry of Parish Education Atrium (Catechesis of the Good Shepherd)Supportive adults, with a passion for nurturing a sense of God for children, are trained with the Catechesis of the Good Shepherd. A catechist and a helper are scheduled each Sunday morning to be with the children. Typically the children will go directly to the atrium when they arrive at church and remain there during the service. We make every effort to look for occasions when the children will be present and contribute to our regular worship — although this does not happen every week — and our clergy spends time in the atrium with the children on occasion. The National Association of the Catechesis of the Good Shepherd For more information please contact Kirs Kobler. Nursery-aged Child CareCare is provided, by adults, on Sunday morning for children up to the age of 3.
Contact: Heather McHale Readers’ GuildReaders enjoy the task of the public proclamation of the word of God at public worship. They are scheduled to read the first and second readings for the 10:30 a.m. worship service and commit to preparation and occasional training workshops to assist them in this role. Contact: Katharine Timmins Adult NurtureThe primary grouping for adult nurture on the Christian journey is the ‘Inquirers’ Group’, which has become a gathering of people whose focus is centered on current books which then serve as a “jumping off point” for discussion in the pursuit of Christian spirituality. Membership is open and fluid. Watch for announcements. Other program opportunities are available through the Viriditas (Centre for Creative Spirituality). The parish clergy are always available for individual appointments NAAC North American Association for the Catechumenate
