Sunday Childcare Age Change
As of
September 1, The Childcare Center began welcoming children 3 months through age 5 on
Sundays. The change will allows the childcare to accommodate the increasing number of
small children in our community.
The best
aspect of this change is that we all get to worship with the children and encourage them
to participate in liturgy. Toddlers and grade school children need to move around; they
want to see what is happening; they wander in the aisles or stand on the pew seat. They
draw and read from the little lambs bags, visit the peace shrine and walk the labyrinths
in the back of the Nave. This is how they embody their worship. Even if they do not seem
to be paying attention, children absorb what is going on and often surprise us with
astonishing insights about God realized during their participation in liturgy. All this is
a sign of Gods continual renewing of Christs ancient and ever-new Body, the
Church through the gift of life.
All other
childcare events will welcome children 3 months through 13 years of age. |
