Live BIG for ages 3-7
For the program year 2011-2012, children aged 3-7 will participate in the Cokesbury program Live B.I.G. which is designed to help children ages 3-13 learn about the love of God through Jesus so they can live their “Belief in God.” The program includes a DVD component and resources that go beyond the classroom and engage children with Christian role models and a deeper understanding of Jesus and the impact he can have on their lives. Come join the fun!
Teens and Tweens ages 8 to 11
Workshop Cycles is an innovative new way to experience Sunday School. It takes seriously the spiritual development of children while providing creative and exciting activities that engage children in a whole new level of learning and retention. The rotation-style model means that children work on the same story or concept for several
weeks, using different learning approaches in each workshop room they visit.
Journey to Adulthood
The Journey to Adulthood is a complete youth ministry program of spiritual formation for 6th - 12th grades. It uses Bible studies, prayer, rites of passage, outreach ministries and both serious and playful activities to accomplish this goal.
Rite-13: The first two years (6th & 7th or 7th & 8th graders) focuses on celebrating the individuality of each young person and their creative potential. The Rite-13 liturgy is the community expression of this and a rite of passage from childhood towards adulthood.
J2A: The second portion of the program (9th –12th graders), engages youth with the skills and critical thinking involved in adulthood. The youth plan and embark on a pilgrimage together at the end of this segment. This experience is often the spiritual highlight of their youth.

If you are not accustomed to worship in the Episcopal Church, here are some helpful hints. The Book Of Common Prayer is the black book containing the services of the Church. The Hymnal 1982 is the blue book which contains chants (marked with "S" in the front part) followed by hymns (without the "S"). Lift Every Voice and Sing II , the red and black hymnal, is the one generally used during Communion.
