The Bible says children are precious in God’s sight. That’s why we offer these exciting opportunities for our children.
Sunday School
Parents, here’s a chance for your children to have fun and make new friends while they learn valuable lessons about what’s right and wrong.
Pioneers
Boy and Girl Pioneers have their first meeting of the year in the middle of September to kick things off, it is called Family Day. This is a time for parents and children to come together to enjoy a campfire, food and games.
The Pioneers do a variety of activities during the year such as going through a corn maze in September, doing a shopping trip to purchase a Christmas gift for someone from “gifts from the heart” in December and building your own Pinecar and racing it in spring. There are manys other activities during the year, come join the fun!
The meetings are the second Sunday of most months, some months we do have two meetings. Times vary depending on the activity for the day. (check this years schedule Pioneer Schedule 2011-2012)
Vacation Bible School
The first full week in August is set aside for summer fun and learning. Children age 4 thru 8th grade are invited to join us for a morning of Bible stories, songs, crafts, snacks and friends!
In the past our “Amazing Praise Band” Vacation Bible School was a success. The children learned about the instruments of the Bible and what it takes to be in a successful marching band. They learned of the hardships, the need for practice, the enjoyment of working together, and finally the joy of that big parade. The theme was based on Psalm 92:1 “It is good to praise the Lord and make music to His name.”
Another year the children were Gone Fishing all week long. They started by going Down by the River: Fishing for love with the story of baby Moses. Then they learned about a Remarkable Catch: Fishing for Help, the story of Jonah and the big fish. Next they were Hooked on God: Fishing for God’s Word in the story of young Samuel. The week was filled with lessons like these presented in fun and memorable was for these thirsty, young souls! The Gone Fishing adventure included making all kinds of fish and fishing gear: tackle boxes, Footprints seashell projects, Jesus Fishing bracelets and fishing theme bird feeders!
