Godly Play and Saint Peter’s Youth return on September 24th,
2023. I am excited to share some fun opportunities for our upcoming year.
The Godly Play start
time remains 9:15 however, I have added an additional 15 minutes to end at
10:15. This return to a longer class time will give the children more response
time for the lesson. The children will be escorted to the Sanctuary during the
peace for anyone attending the 10 am service.
The Iona Service has been renamed the Family Service and will begin at
10:30am. This should bring the conclusion of each of the services closer
together.
Saint Peter’s Youth (SPY) begins at 12pm following the conclusion of
Coffee Hour. SPY’s format is also getting a makeover. We are hoping that the
time change will give our youth more freedom to acolyte and attend SPY.
SPY:
10 min Game/Icebreaker
20 min Scripture and Conversation
20 min Response/ Activity/ Game
10 min Closing
Safe
Church:
The safety of our Families and Volunteers is very important
to us at Saint Peter’s. If you have not completed your safe church training
please do so as soon as possible. You can turn your certificates into the
office upon completion. Safe Church is exclusively offered online through the
Diocese. Online training is offered for anyone, as well as those who need to
renew their certification. If you would like to be certified or need to
re-certify, please contact Toni Snow by email at tsnow@delaware.church.
