Our Youth – Our Future!
St. George’s is blessed with an abundance of young parishioners. This group is critical to the future of St. George’s. In a few years we will have well over twenty middle school and high school children who regularly attend services with their families. Strong leadership and continuing involvement of our new Rector is vital in the development and overseeing of a new and vibrant youth program. The guidance of our Rector will help in recruiting, electing and guiding new leaders of the youth group.
St. George’s has Children’s Bible Study on Sundays during the 10 AM service, which is led by trained volunteers. The children leave for Sunday School after the Gloria and return prior to communion. During Sunday School, the children learn the Gospel lesson and often participate in activities or create artwork related to the Gospel or special days being celebrated. There is also infant day care available during the 10:00 AM service to parents of babies and toddlers.
Currently we have middle school and high school aged parishioners, who are eager to participate in community service which is often required for merit based scholarships and college admission. A successful youth group will include events which allow the children to forge new friendships, develop their own relationship with Christ, see the value of helping others and look forward to being at St. George’s.
