Children's Ministry
Summer Hiatus
Sunday School will be taking a break for the summer.
Please watch the bulletin and newsletter for more information about summer activities and when we'll reconvene in the fall. In the meantime, children are welcome to join their parents in the sanctuary during worship services.
Sunday School
Preschool through Elementary school age kids are welcome to St. Jude's Sunday School! Join new friends for fun and age-appropriate lessons every Sunday during the 10:30 a.m. service. Children will re-join their families in the Sanctuary during the passing of the peace so they can participate in communion. Children must be potty-trained to attend Sunday School. Of course, the nursery is also available during both services for littler ones.
Interested in volunteering to help with Sunday School? A teacher and volunteer observer are needed for each classroom every week. An online "safe church" training class is required. Please talk to one of the members of the Children and Youth Ministry team or one of the adults in the Sunday School classrooms for more information.
Nursery Volunteers needed!
The nursery is still short on volunteers.
A volunteer observer is needed for each classroom every week. An online "safe church" training class is required. Please talk to Stacey Grant for more information.

Safeguarding God's Children
St. Jude's Episcopal Church is committed to ensuring it provides a safe and caring environment.
We aim to create safe environments within which our welcome to all is matched by proper and effective safeguards.
Having employees and volunteers well-trained in abuse prevention is essential in creating a safe environment for everyone.
More information about the required training can also be found on the Diocese website at www.diocgc.org.
The Diocese of the Central Gulf Coast requires everyone who works with children and youth to take online Safe Church / Safe Communities training.
St. Jude's also maintains a policy of two-person integrity in all situations involving children and youth.
