Liturgy of the Word With Children
Offered at our 9:00 am Mass, Liturgy of the Word for Children (LWC) is an opportunity for children to hear and interact with the Sunday morning scripture. The scripture program is open to preschoolers through children in second grade. (Those children who have already experienced their first communion are asked to stay with the assembly.) The only requirement is that the child is able to share with others, sit and listen in a group setting.
LWC begins when the presider at the Mass invites the children to gather around the altar after the opening prayers. With a dismissal blessing, the children process out of the church and into Bartl lounge for their own presentation of the scriptures from a lectionary for children.
After discussion, activities and prayer the children return to their families at Mass in time for the Liturgy of the Eucharist.
There is no fee or registration for LWC. It is open to all children at Mass who are within the above age bracket. LWC is held every Sunday, Anyone interested in being a leader for this program should contact Kristin at the parish office.
