Sundays for 0-3 years during both
8:30 and 10:30 services.
These folders are available for children’s use while in the
sanctuary. The folders are color-coded according to reading ability:
non-readers, beginning readers, elementary readers, and advanced readers. Each
folder contains a clipboard, a Bible storybook, plain paper, a couple of
Biblical coloring or activity papers, pencils, and crayons or coloring pencils.
The folders for the younger children also have lacing cards, while the better
readers have a copy of the Lord’s Prayer so they can participate when everyone
prays.
4 years – 4th grade
Sundays during 10:30 service
After the Children’s Moment with the pastor, children
leave with the leaders for their own worship and learning experience in the
lower level of the fellowship building. We begin with circle time around our
worship table, lighting the candles, talking about them and other special parts
of worship and receiving their offering for our mission project. Each child has
the opportunity to share something special about their week and we join together
in a prayer. Then it is story time. We are using many different children’s
books as well as Biblical stories so we can learn more about following Jesus.
After the story time the candles are extinguished, and we move to tables for
activity sheets, crafts or games that expand on the lesson until parents
collect their children following the service.

This is the
class for 5th and 6th graders. They also
leave
with leaders following the children’s moment. They meet in upper level
of the Fellowship Building. Each week the Biblically-based lesson is
focused on helping the
children grow in their faith and their understanding of God’s story.
Their
mission projects are designed to give them opportunities to be in
service to
others.
