Second Sunday Family Eucharist

On the second Sunday of each month, St. George's celebrates a lively Family Eucharist for small children at 9:15 a.m. The music, readings and homily are all child-friendly, and the children learn about one of the central rituals of the church through an instructed Eucharist.

Musical accompaniment is by the Joyful Noise band, featuring Father Poppe on guitar and parishioners playing piano, violin and, occasionally, banjo or drums. The songs are simple and easy for children to learn.

Family Eucharists are usually followed by a festive "Cocoa Hour" downstairs in the Parish Hall, and sometimes a seasonal craft project. All children are welcome, regardless of church membership. There is no Children's Chapel or Sunday School on second Sundays.
