BOLTS (Bearers of Light and Tradition) training for children and youth will happen on Saturday (17 August 2013) at 1:00 PM to 2:00 PM.
Because our worship services will involve our entire multi-generational community each week, we will be seeking to involve more of our children and youth in the worship experience, in ways befitting their ages, abilities and interests. To that end, we plan to offer a training this Saturday that will cover these various ceremonial tasks of worship:
- Lighting candles for the Principles and Sources
- Lighting the chalice
- Speaking into the microphone /reading the chalice words and other readings, reciting the Principles and Sources
- Taking the offering (Serving with our adult ushers)
- Passing out Orders of Service / Greeting our members and guests (Serving with our adult greeters)
Parents — please encourage your children and youth to take part in this session. They will need to take the training before they can participate in the service in these ways. We would like to make our worship services as much of a community experience as possible. If they are interested in the training but cannot make this session, don’t worry, we will do it again.
