Welcome to “The Children’s Word,” a weekly ministry for kids. Each week, Presvytera Alexandra Houck writes this little newsletter for young parishioners! You will find age-appropriate articles, stories, and activities in every edition. You’ll find the newsletter in PDF format so that you can easily download and print it. Share it with your parish, church school, homeschool, family, and friends!
Each issue includes a message on the Sunday Gospel lesson and on one of the saints for the week. You’ll also find a coloring page and other activities. It is designed for a 8.5 x 14 page, so it can be printed and folded. Visit us weekly to get the latest at your fingertips.
Presvytera Alexandra Houck created The Children’s Word bulletin so children will know they are not only welcome in church, but even more, an essential part of the Church family. She hopes the weekly bulletin will be just one more way we can make kids feel at home in church. Presvytera Alexandra is a graduate of Duke University and Holy Cross Greek Orthodox School of Theology. Her husband, Fr. Jason Houck, is a priest at St. Mary’s Greek Orthodox Church in Minneapolis, MN. Presvytera Alexandra and Fr. Jason have five children: Lydia, Paul, Silas, Philip, and Sarah. Presvytera Alexandra grew up attending Holy Trinity Greek Orthodox Church in Asheville, North Carolina with her nine siblings.
