And yet many churches have difficulty figuring out how kids fit into this weekly sacramental celebration. As we journey between this life’s beginning and its end, one particular liturgy stands out as a font of grace for us all: the Holy Eucharist. The prayer book norms an Episcopal parish’s life of corporate worship from near the start of life (with the service of Holy Baptism) until its end (with the Ministration at the Time of Death). Why Offer Prayer Book Centered Children’s Chapel As I have put together such programs in the parishes I’ve served this has taken the form of something I call “prayer book-centered children’s chapel.” That is, a children’s chapel program which is rooted in the liturgies and traditions of The Episcopal Church’s 1979 Book of Common Prayer. When I talk about children’s chapel, I’m talking about a program which provides children a space in which to actively participate in and lead worship in ways that are pedagogically accessible.
Children’s chapel can mean many things in many different contexts.
