Children attend the first part of the worship service each Sunday. They either sit with their grownups or in the front of the church with the teacher for the day. After "Kids Rock" and a prayer they head off to Kids Connect, our Sunday morning faith exploration experience. This experience is held on the lower level in Room 115, with a teacher and assistant, who all follow our established safety protocols. This hands-on experience means sometimes we get a little messy! Thank goodness for paint shirts.
Our Kids Connect program is for children 4 years old through 5th grade. We meet on Sunday mornings from 10:30 to 11:30 AM, and coincides with the worship service.
Our Children's Program
Kids Rock is our time with children about 10 minutes into the worship service.
They sit up front on carpet squares with a pastor for a time geared just for them.
Sometimes it's a reflection on what the grownups will hear in worship and sometimes it's about what we will be doing in Kids Connect.
Kids Rock!
Classroom time is geared to learning about the Jesus Way of living - That means exploring how to live using the Fruits of the Spirit as our guide for every lesson: Love, Joy, Peace, Patience, Kindness, Goodness, Faithfulness, Gentleness and Self-Control.
Our curriculum is drawn from a variety of sources. Some of the lessons come to us from Sparkhouse, some from Cokesbury (the United Methodist publisher), some from Rotation.org and even some from England! Every Sunday is a creative exploration of the monthly theme. We use two current favorites for kids' Bibles: Spark Story Bible and Deep Blue Children's Bible
The theme for March is the "I Am" sayings of Jesus, following the same theme as the grownups
