Sundays at 10:20am CFP participants gather for prayers and music before heading off to class for instruction and activities. One of our classrooms had been transformed into a Bible story garden, replete with stars, flowers, and a real tree! We continue to use the Episcopal Children's Curriculum developed at Virginia Seminary. It is an academically challenging program, and our kids have risen to its high bar. CFP Nursery. We have a new nursery, which continues to be staffed by two capable Saint Ann's students. Nursery care is available during the 10:30 Eucharist.
		Sunday Night Youth Fellowship meets Sunday evenings, from September to May from 5:30 to 7:30pm. Students eat dinner together, share stories, play games and engage (vigorously!) with the Bible and our Episcopal tradition. It's a feisty group, with four equally enthusiastic leaders. Join us! CFP Youth Worship. Sundays at 7pm, after dinner and class, students worship together in the sanctuary, led by high school students. The students take turns leading Evening Prayer and Compline, enlisting one another to lead the Psalm, read (and locate) the daily lections, and to lead the community in prayer. Our worship instruments include keyboard, violin, guitar, vocals and a flute! Once per month, Janie leads the group of 23-26 students and leaders in a lively service of Holy Eucharist.
