Children's Ministry

CHILDREN'S MOMENT
At a designated time during the first half hour of the 9:30am Blended Worship service the children gather at the front of the sanctuary. The theme for that Sunday is presented in a short message in such a way that the children understand and are invited to use the lesson objective during the next week.

SUNDAY SCHOOL Preschool and Kindergarten (10:00 - 11:00)
Children attending the 9:30 service may leave at the designated time to join Sunday school and are taken to the Education Building, room 13. Other children not in the 9:30am worship service also join them for Sunday School.

ROTATION SUNDAY SCHOOL Grades 1-5 (10:00 - 11:00)
Children attending the 9:30 service may leave at the designated time to join Sunday school and are taken to the Education Building, rooms 23 & 24. Other children not in the 9:30am worship service also join them for Sunday School.

CHILDREN'S CHOIRS
The Children's Choir is active September through May each year participating occasionally in all three services. This is an important formative experience as they learn the art of singing as well as a marvelous opportunity for all to celebrate the gift of our children. The choir rehearses on Mondays at 4:00pm.

ACOLYTES:
Children between the ages of 6 and 10, after being trained, help set the tone for worship primarily in the 9:30am service. They present the light of Christ and Discipleship at the beginning of the service, help with the offering and sacraments and take the light of Christ and Discipleship out into the world at the end of the service. Watch for training dates and times.
