Children are very welcome at each of the Holy Week services, but Saint Philip’s also offers younger children their own introduction to the prayers and practices of Holy Week.

Two sessions on Holy Wednesday will be offered to children ages 0-3 and 3-9—as well as their grown ups.

What to expect
Music Educator, Chelsea Shepherd, and Mtr Taylor will explore Palm Sunday, Jesus’ teachings in the temple, Maundy Thursday, Good Friday, and Holy Saturday. They will use music, activities at different stations, and prayers.

The children will be met where they are developmentally, and be invited to explore the senses of Holy Week with hands-on activities and storytelling. Our core story will be shared with gentleness and care in ways children and engage and remember.

You are welcome to invite friends! Nursery will be provided.

Where to gather
Come to the La Paz meeting room on Wednesday, April 16. Two sessions for the different age groups are available:

4:00-5:00pm: Sound Sparks will lead children ages 0-3 through different stations that involve music and movement to help families pray and play their way through Holy Week.

5:15-6:15pm: Sound Sparks will lead children ages 3-9 through different stations that involve music and movement to help families pray and play their way through Holy Week.
