From infants to teens, Manakin offers opportunities for kids of all ages.
Nursery
Manakin is excited to have Katie Harrison as its new nursery care giver. Katie, a longtime member of the parish who has been a teacher in our Christian Formation program, has an extensive background in childhood education and is certified in first aid; youth protection training; and Medication and Ministration (MAT).
Thanks to a trio of hardworking Manakin volunteers, the church’s nursery space has been expanded. Bill Daniels, Don Marsh and Angela Marsh recently completed the work, which effectively doubles the size of our nursery.
Sunday Morning Children’s Program
Building Blocks of Faith Summer Program for children continues. The program explores the stories of the Bible, helping our children build and strengthen their faith block by block. Through the program, children are encouraged to use their creativity and imagination and Legos or building blocks to create scenes from story and to share what those stories mean to them. The program is held every Sunday morning. Tell your friends!
Youth Trip to Wintergreen
Manakin’s senior youth will spend July 21 – 23 at Wintergreen for a Summer Retreat. This will be a time of fun, fellowship, worship, hiking, food and other activities. To learn more about the retreat, contact Julie Eliades, Manakin’s director of Christian Formation at julia.eliades@comcast.net.
Youth to Participate in Mt. Moriah Feeding Program
At the end of July, Manakin’s youth will help with our parish’s outreach to the Mt. Moriah Feeding Program. On July 30 from 10:00 a.m. – 12:00 p.m., our young people will help pack lunches for the program. Then, on July 31, the youth are invited to help pass out the lunches at Mt. Moriah Church, starting at 11:45 a.m. To learn more about this opportunity, contact the church office at 804-794-6401 or office@manakin.org.
