Education Opportunities for Children

Our  nursery (Room 114) opens at 8:45 a.m. for children who are under 5 years old. Our 2 year old room (Room 217) opens at 10:15 a.m. to children who are 2 years old by December 1 and children may be taken directly there by their parents. Children have time to play, hear a Bible story, say a prayer, and have a snack. A craft is available for those who are interested. Our 3 year old room (Room 216) opens at 10:15 a.m. for children who are 3 years old by December 1 and toilet trained. Children may be taken directly there by their parents. Children have time to play, hear a Bible story, say a prayer, have a snack, and do a craft. Sunday School for 4's and 5's/Kindergarten will be hearing Bible stories from the Old Testament this fall.  The children are dismissed from the sanctuary following the Children's Message in the 10:30 a.m. worship service.   Bible Alive is our Sunday morning program for 1st-4th graders.  We concentrate on one Bible story for four to seven weeks and students experience the story through active learning environments by being in a different workshop each week. Workshops might include Story/Drama, Art, Cookery, Games, Music, Science, Video. Children leave the sanctuary with their guide after the Children's Message and go directly to their workshops. All can be picked up in Fellowship Hall after worship.    The Bridge is our Sunday morning program for 5th-7th graders. Its focus is on helping children to bridge the transition between Sunday School and worship. Our goal for 5th-7th grade youth is to prepare them to be a part of our worshipping community by equipping them with the skills, knowledge and understanding they need in order to participate fully in worship.
