Jesus said, ‘Let the children come to me! Do not hinder them, for the Kingdom of Heaven belongs to them.’
In the same way that the Youth Ministry focuses on pre-teens, teens, and young adults, the Mustard Seed Ministry was created in 2014 to cater to toddlers and pre-school children. For its first three years, the ministry concentrated on gathering young children of parishioners attending the 9 am Sunday mass, meeting at the CTK conference Room and providing them with fun activities. In the process, the youth volunteers nurture the children to love the Word of God. The children then rejoin their parents at the Main Church after they participate in the offertory procession with the love gifts they created during their time together.
More recently, the Mustard Seed Ministry had sponsored the annual Easter egg hunt, the Kingdom of Heaven Fair (a joint with the Youth Ministry), and has occasionally hosted the Coffee after Church. The Mustard Seed Ministry also assist the Catechetical Ministry with the First Communion preparatory classes and Confirmation preparatory classes as well as the culminating Eucharistic celebration for both events.
The ministry also recently organized the CTK Children’s Choir which now sings every fourth Sunday at the 10:30 am mass. It is led by couple Sonny and Mina Mejia, together with Kitchie Diaz.
