Walking in the Word. Walking in the Word is great for families with young children, grades K-5. The children are seated with their parents as the 10a service starts. After the procession, the children are called to gather with the chaplains during the Gloria, who will guide them from the nave to Clingman Chapel or outdoors for the Gospel. Children come back to the nave at the peace in time for communion.

Sunday School and Godly Play. We have two after-Eucharist Sunday School opportunities for children and youth: Godly Play for K-5th and Sunday School for 6-12th graders.

The Youth Pool Party is Sunday from 1-2:30p. It’s not too late to RSVP with Lindsy if you would like to jump in. lserrano@stmatthewsepiscopallouisville.org

Virtual Adult Ed: Racism and white Christian nationalism II. Please join us Monday in Virtual Adult Education as we continue our three-part series about racism and white Christian nationalism with Dr. Jemar Tisby. With researcher Robert P. Jones and host Amanda Tyler, this series will shed light on ways that white supremacy is intertwined with Christian nationalism, and how we can work to root it out of our churches and ourselves. Their discussion is rich with stories of their personal experiences and how they have learned to approach difficult conversations.

Join us via Zoom on Monday, September 12, from 6-7 p.m. Susan Brokenshire-Prater, Amy Tidwell, and Robin Garr moderate Virtual Adult Education.
