Little Parishioners

Little Parishioners is a new Chapel of the Cross charitable outreach program for children ranging from three to six years of age and their parents. As a pilot program, it is designed for children and parents who have a desire to guide their child(ren) in helping others, and to enable the children to feel, see, and touch the benefits of their contributions. Siblings are encouraged to participate and help their little brothers and/or sisters. Please look for details in future Cross Roads newsletters; sign up sheets for each event will be posted on the bulletin board for families. For additional information or if you have questions or activity ideas, please contact Sarah Shapard by email at rsshapard@cs.com. Our first event will be:

Little Parishioners: Plant Pansies with Their Elderly Friends

Tuesday, October 18, at the Charles House, Carrboro, 3:30 - 4:30 p.m.

October is an ideal time to plant pansies with our elderly friends at the Charles House. All you will need: gardening tools and pansies. Snacks will be provided, and the residents will perform and sing songs and play instruments for the children, and a volunteer will read a story.
