Connecting Church and Home
​​​​Children's Church is held during the Worship time while adults are enjoying the sermon.
​
The children are dismissed with an adult to learn about a Bible story, watch a brief video, and make a craft pertaining to the Bible story.
Children also participate in prayer and song.
The kids return before communion so they can be blessed by the pastor.
We are looking for four additional volunteers to provide an extra set of hands during this time. This is a good way for teens to accumulate community service hours. Please see Cyndie if you would be willing to help the teacher.
​
Contact Cyndie, Madonna or Amanda for more information.

WOW! A "Kids Corner" Devotional
for children!
Your child could be receiving a devotional from Kids Corner if they aren't already!
Each week your child receives a devotional regarding subjects such as creating beauty, reflecting God, and serving others. It also contains a Bible story, a parents’ blog, a DYI project, and a demonstration of kids in action serving around the world.
Here is the link: Kids Devotions | Kids Corner. I can sign you up as well. This is another baby step in leading your child toward spiritual growth at an early age, so it becomes art of their daily life.

FEBRUARY EDUCATION NEWS
Children’s Church continues every week during the Worship Service. Children are invited to leave the sanctuary during the sermon to enjoy a Bible story, a craft, a prayer, and a short video. Children from ages 3 to 4th grade are welcome. An older student may want to attend as a helper.
This semester the Bible stories revolve around the lectionary readings focusing mostly on the New Testament readings. A big thank you to the parents who bring their children faithfully to increase their spiritual growth.
It is hard to believe that we are almost in the Lenten season. Lenten devotional materials will soon be available in the Narthex at the table in the landing.
