The Church of the Advent Family Mass

a service for families with young children

If there is a child in your life with whom you would like to worship, please join us the first Sunday of each month at 9 am for our Advent Family Mass.

The family Mass will still be our traditional liturgy rooted in ancient tradition, but it will be shortened to between 30 and 40 minutes in length so that young children and their parents are more fully able to participate. While all are welcome to attend this mass it has been specifically designed to help our youngest parishioners understand and participate in our liturgy and worship service in a developmentally appropriate way. From sermons designed specifically for families to having the congregation sit in the chancel so that the children can see what is happening at the altar, this service has been designed with the needs of young children and their families in mind.

In addition to being active participants as members of the congregation, children take on age appropriate roles in most important aspects of the liturgy; reading lessons, writing or leading prayers, taking the offerings of the people, and carrying the cross. If your child is interested in assisting with one of these responsibilities, please see Father Keene or Deacon Wilkerson.

This Mass has been designed to complement our Sunday School program as another valuable component to Christian Formation. The first Sunday of each month we will not have Sunday School.

*Child care will be provided for Milk and Cookie Hour after mass
