CHILDREN’S WORSHIP TRAINING
Children from nursery to age 6 are invited to join our great volunteers for a time of teaching, learning the children’s catechism and a craft during the sermon. They head out just before the sermon rejoin us before the Lord’s Supper.
The goal of Worship Training is to prepare children 3 years through kindergarten to actively participate in the entire worship service upon entering 1st grade. We will use the elements of the worship service to learn and practice them as well as a time of teaching a bible story. This isn’t intended to be merely a time of entertainment but rather a true time of preparing the children for engagement in our worship service.
Curriculum- a combination of Jesus Storybook Bible, The Biggest Story Bible and Stories Every Child Should Know, along with a simple craft relating to the story. The curriculum restarts every August.
Elements of training-
Lords Prayer
Gloria Patri
Doxology
Responsive reading for Lords Supper
Children’s catechism questions 1-12
Bible Story and craft
CHILDREN'S SUNDAY SCHOOL
Following the rhythm of life in a college town we do Children's Sunday school for 12 weeks in the Fall and 12 weeks in the Spring. This is because we want to give a period of time for children to come together with brothers and sisters in Christ to learn about the great truths of the Scripture, yet without taking away from the home being the primary place of a child's discipleship.
We use great curriculum from One Story Ministries.
We also do occasional Children’s Fellowship Events likes Cookie Decorating, Caroling, etc.
VACATION BIBLE SCHOOL!
Annual event each summer!
