We invite our children and youth to join these groups that bring us together into closer community in the household of God. Here are some of the programs available for children and youth. The Junior Servers program, guided by Gary and Vergie Finch, provides and opportunity for children from fourth grade and up to become more involved in the church service as acolytes. The servers present the elements of the Eucharist, receive the offering plates from the ushers, and carry the candles, crosses, Holy Scripture and banners during the processions at the worship services. The youth music program, open to all children from age 5 through high school, is an opportunity for young people to gain a positive choral experience through a variety of sacred music.
Opportunity is provided in rehearsal for individual and small-group vocal coaching.
The choir provides musical leadership at the family worship service one a month as well as assisting with festival services such as Christmas and Easter. The choir also nurtures children's spirituality through learning about the liturgy ad the Anglican tradition f music-making. HERE for photos. This fellowship group for 4th and 5th graders only meets monthly at the Cathedral or for special field trips, to foster a sense of belonging in the Cathedral and to encourage these young people to integrate the church into their everyday lives. Each meeting has a different theme and may involve movies, games, special dress, dinner and other fun activities.
