Infant up to age two
Loving and nurturing childcare environment
is provided during the 9:00 a.m. and 10:30 a.m. worship services on Sunday. Children
age two
This program is designed to help two year old children learn
about Jesus, understand that God loves them, and know that church is a happy
place to be where they are now and will always be loved. Teachers create a
learning environment that recognizes different learning styles, focuses on the
Bible stories, provides activities that stimulate growth and development, and
provides care in meeting each child’s needs. This program is at the 9:00 a.m.
worship service only. Two year olds are invited to go to the nursery at the
10:30 a.m. service. Children
age three - grade one
Sundays, 9:15 a.m.
This program, called Nurturing Faith, which mimics
adult worship, includes singing, presenting the Bible story around a story
circle using concrete story pieces, responding to the story, praying and
feasting together, and going in God’s name with a blessing. This program engages
children’s natural capacity for awe, wonder, and joy while they experience God
and build theological thinking. This program happens at the 9:00 a.m. worship services. At 9:00 a.m., the children are separated by
age/grade and at 10:30 a.m., the children are all together in a mixed-age
setting. Children are invited to stay in church for children’s time and then go
to Sunday school, so this Sunday school program actually goes from 9:15 - 10:15
a.m. Second
- Fifth graders
Sundays, 9:15 a.m.
This program, called Rotation Workshop uses the United Methodist "PowerXpress"
curriculum. This program is based on the Multiple Intelligences Theory which
states that we all learn in different ways. Therefore, the children in this
program learn Bible stories by rotating through four workshops, one per week for
a month, that all focus on the same Bible story. They learn a new Bible story
each month. The workshops include art, cooking, drama, games, music, news
broadcast, science, and video. The hope is that children will understand and
remember the Bible story from at least one of these workshops each month. This
program happens at the 9:00 a.m. worship services. At 9:00 a.m.,
the children are separated by age/grade. Children are invited to stay in church for
children’s time and then go to Sunday school, so this Sunday school program
actually goes from 9:15-10:15 a.m. |
