Dear St. Christopher’s Family,
Montessori Sunday is back and along with it an opportunity to put our best St. Christopher's foot forward. The children from SCMS have been working hard the last few weeks to get ready some special worship music for us, and will be hosting our Coffee Hour while showing off some of the great work they've done so far this year.
Because we'll have so many guests, I'm going to ask those of us who are Sunday regulars to make special gestures of welcome. Many of these parents will never have been inside the church area before, so please be attentive to confused looks and offer to help. The children will be returning to sit with their parents just before Communion, so please reserve the center-aisle portion of the pew for parents so it will be easier to get the kids in. Also, I invite you to check out the video above. This is our SCMS school song, and the children know both the words and the signs. I think you'll like this song too!
A school can mean many things to a parish or a church. For us at St. Christopher's, this is an outreach ministry. We as a congregation, through the ministry of the great faculty we have, are proclaiming the Gospel to all our families, letting them know that they have a place here where they belong, where they matter. Be sure to thank all the teachers this Sunday and make a friend with a family who's here for the first time. St. Christopher's is truly full of Good News to share.
