Children's Chapel
The volunteer sign-up schedule can be found here. Each week, an additional adult is needed to support the leadership of the Chapel Minister.
Children’s Chapel meets each Sunday at 10:00 AM.
Pre-kindergarten through elementary-aged school children are invited to worship
in our Chapel (located upstairs) while their parents worship in the main
sanctuary. The children participate in a gathering activity that mixes
fellowship, the daily Bible lesson, and FUN. They then proceed to the chapel
for their worship service, which is a short service based on the Rite II
Eucharist. The children learn the order of worship, proper responses, hymns,
the Apostle’s Creed, and the Prayers of the People. The Gospel lesson serves as
a basis for a sermon discussion. The children serve as: ushers, crucifer,
acolytes, prayer leaders, and offering collector. At the conclusion of the
service, the children re-join parents in the church for Communion.
Sunday Eucharist at St. Michael's, celebrated at both services, is a comprehensive service of both Word and Sacrament. We read from the Bible, we recite or sing a psalm, and we listen to a sermon. Then we pray for the Church and the world, and we ask God's forgiveness for our sins. Finally, we greet one another in the peace of Christ and move to the sacramental service of the Holy Communion.
At services of Holy Eucharist, all baptized persons are welcome to receive holy communion. We also offer blessings to those who for any reason are not able or not comfortable receiving this sacrament.Children are always welcome at the communion rail. Learn more about Episcopal Worship
