Children's Liturgy of the Word is for children ages three years to first grade. It is held during the 11:30 am Mass every Sunday morning of the school year at our St. Thomas More church site. The children are called forward to the altar after the Opening Prayer, where they gather with the adult leaders and are sent forth by the presider to a special area prepared for them in the Family Life Center, where they listen to the Word proclaimed from the Children's Lectionary. They reflect on the Word through stories, discussions and activities, and pray together before returning to their families at the Presentation of the Gifts.
