  • moveable feast of saint anthony

    Did you know that Saint Anthony is the Italian patron saint of BREAD?  Well, the Saint Anthony Park Faith Communities decided to do something fun together because of it. 

    Moveable Feast of Saint Anthony
    Sunday, May 31
    11:45 AM starting at SAP Lutheran Church

    We will meet up at the Lutheran Church (Como & Doswell) and then “process” to all five churches in the neighborhood in this order:  Lutheran, Episcopal, UCC, Methodist and Catholic.  (If you’d prefer to drive instead of walk that’s fine, too.) 

    At each church there will be a very brief liturgy and music, and we will collect donations of store-bought bread and/or bread-making ingredients such as flour, salt, oil, yeast, with all donations going to food shelves. 

    We will cap off our time together at St. Cecilia’s Catholic Church (2357 Bayless Place, across from Hampden Park) for a communal lunch.  St. Cecilia’s will provide build-your-own sandwich fixings.  We are asked to bring a side to share – chips, pickles, fruit, salad and the like.  

    Let’s celebrate Saint Anthony, donate bread, share a meal and live into our ecumenical partnerships.

    godly play

    Our Godly Play classroom is for children in preschool thru 2nd grade.

    The "Doorperson" greets each child and helps them get ready to enter the classroom.

    The "Storyteller" tells the Bible story using the Godly Play curriculum, props, and the desert box, and then asks the children wondering questions. The class concludes with worktime and the feast.

    Godly Play is a wonderful approach to faith formation thru storytelling.

    Sundays, 9:15-10:15 AM, in the Godly Play classroom on the lower level.
