Let the little children come to me; do not stop them; for it is
to such as these that the kingdom of God belongs.

YOUTH PROGRAMS
At St. Peter's we place a high priority on youth fellowship that
will provide a spiritual focus
while acknowledging the need for
social activities among all children.
Activities for youth groups
are a big part of life at St. Peter's, and parents
are enthusiastic about continuing the effort
to build
a Christian commitment among
parish young people.

Vision Statement for the Youth of St. Peter's
St. Peter's affirms the importance
of children and young adults as a vital part of our common life. In
order to help them develop their Christian faith we encourage and
support all their efforts to
-
Participate actively in worship, parish events
and programs that lead to spiritual and personal growth and an
understanding of Christian faith and ministry.
-
Learn Christian values and the history and
traditions of the Episcopal church through study and active
participation in all aspects of parish life -- worship, Christian
education, outreach, fellowship and stewardship.
-
Encourage their friends to participate in events
at St. Peter's and make sure that they feel welcome and included.
-
Actively demonstrate Christian love
by reaching out to those in need through service projects, by caring
for the sick and the elderly and by helping friends and neighbors.
Christian Education at St.
Peter's
Christian
Education at St. Peter's is a very important part of our programs
for children and young people.
A Christian Education Committee works with the rector to organize the
curriculum, solicit teacher volunteers and provide ongoing support.
Regular
attendance at Sunday School and parental support of our program is
important to insure a meaningful Sunday School experience for all
St. Peter's youngsters. Sunday School starts at 9:50 a.m. and
children join their parents during the 10 a.m. service at the Peace
to participate in the Eucharist.
For details on our Fall 2007 Christian Education programs go to
"Worship and Programs" and see "Christian Education."
Children's and Youth Choir Information is listed in the
weekly schedule on our This Week page.
