Family Ministry & Youth
Summer Sundays
Calling all Youth and Children!
It’s Summertime! Schedules relax and the FUN begins! The summer enrichment program promises to be relaxed and FUN as well. For the months of June, July and August, we will not offer in-person enrichment classes for either the children or youth on the first Sunday of the month. Church of the Beatitudes dedicates the first Sunday of each month to the Communion Service of Worship, and we encourage our families to worship together during Communion Sundays.
Here’s the schedule for the remaining Sundays of the summer months:
YOUTH GRADES 7TH-HIGH SCHOOL: We invite you to our “Donut Drop-In” each Sunday from 10:15 am to 10:40 am in Room 1 next to the Worship Center front entrance. This will be a time of munchin’ on donuts, and reconnecting and sharing our summer adventures. The Youth will then join their families at 10:45 am in worship.
CHILDREN GRADES 1ST-6TH: You will begin worship with your family in the Worship Center and at 10:45 am, Deni Nordmeyer will escort the children to Room 2 for FUN activities and to meet “UGG”! Parents will pick up their child(ren) immediately following the service at 11:30 am in Room 2.
We will continue to offer our online ZOOM classes throughout the summer on a periodic schedule as noted:
ZOOM FOR YOUTH: June 5th and July 17th at 7:00 pm MST
ZOOM FOR CHILDREN: June 12th and July 10th AT 4:00 pm MST
For more information and to register your Youth/Child or for links to ZOOM classes, please contact Family Ministry Coordinator, Deni Nordmeyer: dnordmeyer@beatitudeschurch.org
Children/Youth Rite of Passage
Sunday, May 22 | Celebration of Promotions at 10:30 am Service of Worship | Worship Center
Calling Youth and Children! We missed celebrating our youth and children’s growth during COVID. The last Rite of Passage celebration was in 2019. All youth and children that entered grades K, 4th, 7th, and high school or graduated from high school or college in the years 2020, 2021, or this year 2022, were honored on Sunday, May 22, during our service of worship. These are important transitions that we wanted to recognize. To watch the Rite of Passage ceremony, please head to our “Latest Media” page and click on the worship service video dated 05/22.

As predictable as Arizona weather can be most of the year, Mother Nature held back on us last Sunday for our Family Ministry Kite flying event. Despite the windless skies, our families had a FANTASTIC time drawing their dreams on kites and urging them upward with sheer manpower. A special thanks to Lee Case for his kite framing services as well as our other volunteers.
Children/Youth Enrichment Program
Family ministry is a safe place for families to spiritually journey through life together as the wonderful humans we were born to be, sharing in a divine relationship with each other and the community as we walk through the stages of life while making God’s love real.
During our gatherings, we will have a variety of experiences guided by sacred writings to develop the natural gifts of the person in caring for our diverse humanity and our Earth home.
PARENTS: Children’s and Youth Enrichment classes will meet IN-PERSON (masked and socially distanced) during worship services on a staggered schedule in Britt Chapel, and on Zoom. Contact our Family Ministry Coordinator, Deni Nordmeyer, for the Zoom links at: dnordmeyer@beatitudeschurch.org
