Little Saints is a monthly gathering for children from Baptism through age four and the adults who bring them. Families come together for open play, a craft, circle time, and a walk into the sanctuary, where little ones can look, listen, and get comfortable in the place where we worship. Every gathering closes with the Hayr Mer said together, hands open, facing the altar.

The heart of it is simple. Children learn that church is a place they belong long before they enter Sunday School, and parents get to know one another along the way.

The guidebook below offers a full two years of monthly lessons, each with a theme, a craft, and a church connection led by your pastor. Parishes can start any month and use them in any order.
