Children and Youth Ministry Update from The Rev. Francesca Fortunato

On February 9th, we will be reading Saint Paul’s “love chapter” (familiar from many weddings),1 Corinthians:13. Discussion will focus on all of the things that “love is” for us. For their creative response activity, the children will make Valentine cards for people they love, writing “love is” phrases on them (either Saint Paul’s, their own, or both).
These big questions (where is God? What is love?) are things that most of us will spend our whole lives pondering. It’s never too early to begin taking them on, consciously and intentionally. It has been a great education, as well as great joy and inspiration for me, to study theology with children, for all of these years and decades. I look forward to the ongoing journey, with these smart, sweet; caring children in the Park community.
Blessings and well wishes as always,
Rev. Francesca Maria (Miriam): Children’s Minister
