Dear Parishioners,
We are off to a great start to our Religious Education year. We had a successful Summer Youth Retreat on August 15th! We had 30 kids come and enjoy a day of fellowship, games, and fun! We want to especially thank all of our volunteers that helped with this event. Without you, this would not have been possible!
We are happy to see familiar and new faces starting in our Sunday School classrooms! If you have not registered your child please do so through the Sunday School tab on the church website! That way you will not only receive Sunday School updates, but many other youth event details as well. We have a lot of fall events for our youth to participate in. We hope you can make it to the events we have put together!
We want to remind everyone that there is a children’s bulletin board for our youth to take each Sunday when you enter the narthex. There are readings that relate to age appropriate topics and are connected to the gospel lesson for that week. There are also some games and a coloring page of an icon as well. Please take advantage of this bulletin board to engage your child in the church service!
Events for the Fall:
September 17th: Blessing of the Vehicles at 12:00 pm
October 21st: Blessing of the Animals at 2:00 pm
October 28th: Trunk or Treat 4:00pm
The Christmas Pageant feels like a long way off, but we are looking for a parent or teacher to organize and run the Christmas Pageant with our children this year. If you are interested in this, please reach out to the Sunday School directors. We have all the materials from previous years, and we can meet on how the practices and pageant usually run.
We are always looking for more help in our Sunday School program. You don’t have to be a parent or have teaching experience to get involved. We are looking for substitutes for our Sunday School classes and volunteers for different events. If you are interested please contact us!
As always please reach out to us with any questions or comments at recagocny@gmail.com.
With love in Christ,
Karina and Lauren
