CHILDREN'S LITURGY OF THE WORD (CLOW)

During every 9:30am Sunday mass (except the 1st sunday of the month), children from kindergarten to 5th grade have an opportunity to experience and take part in the liturgy in a way more suitable for them to understand. The children's lectionary is used so both the old testament and new testament readings are easier to comprehend for children, then one of our adult leaders gives a brief talk on that week's scripture theme to the children. Children are dismissed after the opening prayer, and rejoin their families right after the general intercessions. This wonderful ministry is coordinated by Mrs. Sharla Toups.
