YOUTH + FAMILY
From September to June we follow regular programming utilizing StoryMakers, a creative and engaging curriculum that was founded in our very own parish! We conclude our school year with Creative Arts Camp, a week-long after school camp, also utilizing StoryMakers, where we learn about a story in the bible through songs, storytelling and crafts. This free camp serves over 100 kids from all over the city. Throughout the summer we gather children in our chapel for a time of fellowship and light programming. For questions, please contact calstgkids@calstg.org
Sign up for our weekly newsletter to stay in the loop.

SUNDAY SCHOOL
FOR PK - 5TH GRADE
Pre K - 5th grade children report to their teachers at the front of the sanctuary after the Collect and are then escorted by to their classrooms. Children return to the service prior to communion. Sunday school is a screen-free zone. Please register your child below so that we have up-to-date information.
6TH - 8TH GRADE
MIDDLE SCHOOL
Middle schoolers head upstairs to the youth room after they are dismissed for Sunday school and return to the service for communion. We encourage middle schoolers to participate as acolytes, readers, and ushers, etc in our quarterly Family Sunday services, which include the Christmas Pageant and Easter Sunday. Special middle school programming includes monthly Youth Hangs (evenings of fun, games, and Compline), Youth Choir, Confirmation Class for 8th grade and older (see dates below) and Creative Arts Camp in June 2027 where middle schoolers can choose to either participate as campers or assist the adult teachers.
9TH - 12TH GRADE
HIGH SCHOOL
During the high school years, we encourage teens to participate in the Sunday service. They may also volunteer as ushers, acolytes, readers or Sunday school helpers. After our 11am service, from 12:30–1:30pm, all high schoolers are encouraged to join us for lunch and a bible study in the youth room. This fall, we're digging into Jesus's parables. Special high school programming includes monthly Youth Hangs (evenings of fun, games, and Compline), Confirmation Class for 8th grade and older (see dates below) and Creative Arts Camp in June 2027 where high schoolers can assist the adult leaders.
SPECIAL PROGRAMMING
YOUTH CONFIRMATION CLASS
FOR 8TH - 12TH GRADE
Our Teens in 8th-12th grade are invited to join our confirmation class. We meet for five Sundays from 12:30PM - 1:30PM on the 10/18, 11/15, 1/24, 3/7, 4/10. Led by Rev. Sarah Bonay, teens are walked through preparation for confirmation. Confirmation is a Sacramental Rite where a baptized person now makes a mature public commitment to Christ and receives strength from the Holy Spirit through the Bishop's laying on of hands and prayer. Students are expected to attend all classes to the best of their ability. Lunch and drinks are provided. All high schoolers are invited to sit in on the classes even if they are not pursuing confirmation.
YOUTH HANG

Let's have some fun! All middle and high schoolers are invited to bring their friends and join us for games, community, and good old-fashioned shenanigans. We close each night with a short Compline Service as a restful way to end the week together. Food and drinks are provided.
Youth Hangs are scheduled monthly on Friday nights, 6–8pm at St. George's Church. See our calendar for details!
