YOUTH
BPC’s youth have been endlessly creative during this complicated season. Our 7th-12th graders have continued to meet and stay active throughout the spring and summer, mostly via Zoom. In addition to regular gatherings online, they met to cook together and play a range of games. They planned mission/service events, worship opportunities, and fellowship activities. For example, the youth met in a socially distant manner to create yard signs to brighten some members’ days. They played outdoor games that allowed for “togetherness” without being close. One day some youth attended a movie at the University Mall: They had the whole theater to themselves and were able to keep masks on and sit separately. One night they gathered at Burke Lake Park Campgrounds. High school students spent the night in their own tents or hammocks!
Finally, we welcomed our incoming 7th graders in early August, and had a special send-off fire pit event for the seniors heading off to college. Our youth have made the best of a hard situation, and we intend to continue throughout the 2020-21 year. If you have a youth who would like to get connected with our community, don’t hesitate to reach out to Associate Pastor of Youth Ministries Adam Ogg (adam@burkepreschurch.org).
GODLY PLAY FOR ALL AGES
Godly Play can be a wonderful way to engage in the biblical stories that center us in our faith and connect us with one another. We meet via zoom on Sunday mornings 10:15-10:45am. All (all ages and stages) are welcome!
RAINBOW FOR CHILDREN IN GRADES K-6
When we think about what makes Rainbow special – community, love, acceptance, laughter, play, creativity – these are attributes that can endure, whether we are together in person or together virtually. We are so grateful to be connected to learn about and experience God’s love through music, engage in recreation games, participate in creative arts, and join in community to laugh, learn, and love.

At Burke Presbyterian Church. we believe that spiritual growth is a journey of growing in faith.Through hospitable learning and study settings, we provide a variety of offerings for people who are lifelong Christians as well as for those who are new to Christianity or who are reacquainting themselves with the Christian faith.
