Sundays at St. Johns
Liturgy of the Word for Children
Each weekend, at the 10:00am liturgy, children are invited to the Reina Community Room following the opening prayer. There, teams of presenters read the Gospel in words that the children will understand, discuss the meaning of the Gospel, pray a child’s version of the Creed, and lead the children in praying for their own intentions. This gives the children the opportunity to hear scripture on their own level and to talk about what it means in their lives. It also gives the parents the opportunity to listen with an adult ear, to the scriptures and homily, without interruption. Volunteers
make up the teams. Additional helpers are always needed.
