Gracious and loving God, we thank you for sending your life-giving Spirit to dwell with us in the community of Emmanuel Parish; infuse us with passion for worship of you, and for service to the greater community of Cumberland and beyond. Give us wisdom and perseverance in being a mutually supportive, inviting and inclusive congregation; and help us in all things to follow the example of him whom we call “God with us,” even Jesus Christ, in whose name we pray.
Amen

Classes end at about 11:15 at which time the children rejoin their families for refreshment and fellowship. Their courses makes use of one of the standard curricula published for children of the Episcopal Church.
