Children's Liturgy of the Word

 

We will be celebrating Children’s Liturgy every Sunday at the 9AM mass during the school year.  After the opening prayer, children are invited to come forward, receive the Word of God as adapted for children, and go down to the hall, where volunteers read the word, a reflection is given, the psalm is sung, and children return to the Mass upstairs for the Communion rite.  Parents often accompany their children during this time.  

We have a team of parents who alternate Sunday's to deliver this children's ministry and a COORDINATOR to oversee the scheduling of family volunteers who act as weekly leaders.  We are also looking for New Adult Leaders to add to our team.  Our goal is to have sufficient leaders so each takes one Sunday only 3 or 4’s/year. 

The roles available to volunteer for are:

• Student Readers (varied length for many levels of reading or memorizing)
• Musicians (students or adults)
• Adult Speakers (share a reflection about the Gospel)
• Adult Organizers (type readings & line up student readers)
• Set Up (8:30-9am)
• Clean Up (after 9am mass)
