Children's Ministry

The ministry to children is an important component of our identity at St. Bartholomew's Episcopal Church.  Our Sunday school has classes for all ages, including a staffed nursery.  We gather on Sundays at 9:15 for Biblical Faith Formation in a fun and exciting atmosphere with dedicated teachers.  Every Sunday after the adult sermon, children are invited to come forward and gather around the children's cross for a brief children's homily by Fr. Michael with a life application story for the week based on the biblical readings of the day.  There are also regular events for children and families outside of a formal church setting.  For more information, please speak with Kathy Walker or Fr. Michael or by calling the church office at 332.8765.

When the church gather, we understand that children are part of the family.  For potluck suppers, our Advent wreath making, or receptions, children are present and always welcome.  To assist parents, there are activity bags available for children to take into the 10:30 a.m. service or any service for that matter.  The bags include Children's Worship Bulletins that are based on the day's biblical readings with coloring pages and other activities.  This can help occupy those wiggly hands and feet.  These blue bags can be found in the narthex area.  Children are welcome at all services, and especially on Sunday evenings, our 5:30 p.m. service is especially suited to families and youngsters as it is very casual. Please feel free to worship and learn with us.  Come be a part of God's family at St. Bartholomew's Episcopal Church.

Welcome Kathy Walker!

Minister to Families

We are excited about Kathy's new ministry with us as our Minister to Families.  She has already started working on Vacation Bible School, Sunday School & nursery coordination and helping us develop a special worship time for children.  Kathy represents our effort to make ministry to children and families a central part of our communal life and witness.
