NURSERY:  A nursery is provided for infants and toddlers on Sunday mornings, Wednesday evenings, and during most special events.  Paid nursery staff workers and volunteers offer loving care while parents participate in church activities.

CHILDREN'S CHURCH:  Children's Church is offered during both the 8:45 and 11:00am worship services each Sunday.  Children, four years through 3rd Grade, may leave the worship service with adult leaders following the children's message and may be picked up by parents in Room 220 after the service.

SUNDAY SCHOOL:  Sunday School programs are offered for children 2 years and older.  Two- and three-year-olds have Sunday School in the nursery from 10:00 until 10:45am.  Children, four years through 4th grade, meet in Room 220 for activities and fellowship from 9:50 until 10:00 am and then are led by adult leaders to their classrooms for Sunday School.  Preschoolers and kindergartners use Cokesbury's Live B.I.G. curriculum, while our 1st through 4th graders use a rotational model curriculum and format.  Fifth Graders have their own Sunday School class and also use the Live B.I.G. curriculum. 

CHILDREN'S CHOIRS & BIBLE CLUBS:  Join us on Wednesday evenings September through April from 6:15 until 7:15pm.  All children begin in room 220 with singing, followed by age-appropriate Bible stories, crafts, and games.  Four-year-olds through first graders remain in Room 220 after choir practice, while children in grades 2 through 4 go to the activity room.  5th graders have a special class just for them in room 205. A nursery is available for our youngest children.

CHILDREN'S PARTIES & EVENTS:  Throughout the year, Family and Children's Ministries work together to provide a variety of special parties and events for children and their families.  These include our annual church picnic, Sweetheart Dance, Easter Egg Hunt, and Fall Festival.  Weekly bulletins and newsletters advertise coming events.

VACATION BIBLE SCHOOL:  Every year we offer Vacation Bible School during the last full week of July.  Dates for VBS 2010 are July 26 - 30, 9:00 a.m. - 12 noon.  The theme is High Seas Expedition, where kids will experience the deep, rolling waters of God's love!!
