Love One Another: 3rd, 4th, and 5th Grade Fellowship Day
For the first time, the Diocese of Virginia will host two fellowship days for 3rd, 4th, and 5th graders to come together for a fun-filled day of formation and fellowship centered on the theme of Communion! The idea for the fellowship days came from Lauren Breeden, Director of Children and Family Ministries at The Falls Church Episcopal.
“Children’s spirituality is woven into their laughter, movement, questioning, and wonder. Their faith is embodied, imaginative, and real. When we let them lead us, they remind us what Communion truly means. These fellowship days are about recognizing that children don’t just belong in the Church—they reveal it to us. To all our young 3rd- to 5th-grade leaders: we can’t wait to learn, play, and worship with you. Come show us what Communion looks like through your eyes.”
– Lauren Breeden
The schedule will run from 10:00 am – 2:00 pm, concluding with a kid-centered Eucharist. Parents are invited to join their children for the first part of the day to join the fun and meet with diocesan staff and Bishops to learn more about ministries throughout the diocese. We will be hosted by St. Christopher’s School in Richmond on Saturday May 10, and by St. Stephen’s and St. Agnes School in Alexandria on Saturday May 17.
The $20 registration fee includes snacks and lunch. Both school campuses are completely nut-free, so we ask that students refrain from bringing food to campus unless they make a special request with Canon Heidi Kim. For more information, or to request scholarship assistance, please email Canon Kim.
Please Register by Friday, May 9.
