We need to reimagine how we can have quality children and youth programs utilizing enthusiastic volunteers of all ages and creative thinkers. On our rolls, we have 13 nursery age children, 21 pre-k and elementary age children, and 14 teens. I am very passionate about creating a good Episcopal-style Christian experience for all of them. I believe that to offer anything less is negligent on my part. I believe we can, but I need your help.
1. Children's Chapel during the 10:30 service is one of the best things that we do and very easy to facilitate. We need facilitators. With a healthy group of volunteers, you would only be scheduled once every 10-12 weeks. I can send links to resources that can assist you in planning a 25-minute Children's Chapel program that would include a lesson, story, or craft and a snack. Please let me know if I can put you on the schedule.
2. The next thing is that I would like to have volunteers to help us rethink what children and youth ministry should look like at Resurrection. We need folks who are passionate about our children and youth ministry to serve as planner, facilitators, thinkers, chaperones, leaders, and teachers. I believe that with a good handful of us, we can give our children and youth the attention, education, and experience they deserve.
If you would like to help me, Joe Cash, and Denise Dorsey figure this out, please send me a message to say that I can count on you.
Peace,
Father Scott+
And a special thank you to Mallory Nonnemaker for all her hard work the past 2 years and to Candina Butcher, who keeps our nursery every single Sunday.

Anti-Racism Training
September 24, 2016 9:00-4:00
The Anti-Racism Training model of the Episcopal Church is designed to make us all more aware of how society's racist past still haunts us today. Through self-examination and sharing our stories, we come to learn more about how our behavior affects others, and how our society, institutions and churches affect how we think and feel about others. After anti-racism training, you will never watch the news the same again!
More information
Resurrection is hosting the next training for the Northeast Convocation on Saturday, September 24, from 9:00 a.m. until 4:00 p.m. Dr. Catherine Meeks will facilitate the training.
Since 1991, General Convention has committed the Episcopal Church to address racism within our church, society and the world. We all recognize when obvious racism, discrimination or oppression occurs, but many of us are completely unaware of the subtle racism that occurs everyday all around us and how we are involved in perpetuating it. To better educate ourselves about the underlying racism in our daily lives and institutions, all lay and ordained leaders in the Episcopal Church are required to attend anti-racism training. Each and every member of the church can also be involved in the effort to end the institutional racism that exists in the church. Together we can make our church a welcoming place, devoid of racism and any form of prejudice and discrimination.
Working together for justice.
