Grades K-1    Chester’s Kids    (Children's Liturgy of the Word)
   -- Sundays at 9 & 11:15 Masses

Children will leave the "Big People's" liturgy and experience a "Little People's" liturgy
of the word. They will sing a seasonal Psalm and Gospel Acclamation, listen to the Gospel
reading from the Children's Lectionary, participate in a children's homily with Chester the
Church mouse, recite the "Little People's" creed, and offer prayers of the faithful.  

Then, they will rejoin the larger faith community for the Liturgy of the Eucharist.  Children 
will grow in their appreciation of the Liturgical Year, the Sunday Gospel stories, and the rituals
and responses associated with the Liturgy of the Word.  This formation will help them prepare
for their full initiation into the Church and to participate more fully in the Church’s liturgy.  

We usually need 6 liturgists at the 9:00 Mass and 4 liturgists at the 11:15 Mass who can commit 
to about 2 Masses per month.  Also needed are 1 or 2 people to work on supplying homily props
and keeping our closet tidy.  Training is provided.
