Coffee Fellowship and Children’s Choir follow worship each Sunday
Our theme for the new year will be “Special Times with Jesus.” Some of the stories we will learn about are The Beatitudes from the Sermon on the Mount, the story of the loaves and the fishes, and how Jesus made an unlikely friend when he met a little man named Zacchaeus.
Rotation Sunday School
We use the Rotation model for Sunday school. The children rotate through a series of five classrooms to learn the current Bible story in a variety of ways.
The classes include:
| The Temple of Learning |
| The Drama Room |
| The Creative Arts Room |
| The Computer Lab |
|
The Theater |
The Workshops
The Temple of Learning
Purpose: To put God’s word in our hearts and minds. Just like in the Bible, our
temple is the center of learning. In this workshop, the strong focus is on the
message. An interactive lesson is presented. The children take part in large and
small group activities that include learning games and research using the
resources of the Children’s Library.
Drama
Purpose: To experience the stories and
lessons of the Bible firsthand. In a dramatic setting, the children experience
the emotions and details of the stories. They gain a better understanding of
life in Bible times. They also use modern settings to help them apply the
lessons learned. Plays, puppets, readings, poetry, flannel board, and black
light dramas are all used to make the Bible come alive. Sometimes the children
create their own scripts based on scripture and experiment with creative acting
and improvisation.
Creative Arts
Purpose: To explore the talents God has given us and to
create reminders and symbols of our faith and the beautiful world around
us. God made a wonderful place for His children to enjoy and explore. His art is
all around us. In this workshop, we use many types of artistic techniques to
create a variety of projects. Cooking, science, and nature are occasionally
added to this fun workshop experience.
Computer Lab
Purpose: To take advantage of this learning tool to reinforce Bible learning, we
use a variety of wonderful Christian software now available for all ages. The
experience includes quizzes, research, games, art, creative writing, Bible
memory, Bible facts, storytelling, and Holy Land tours, to name just a few.
The SOTH Theatre
Purpose: To reinforce the Bible theme or story through a movie and follow-up
discussion, game, or activity. The children learn from a quality,
Christian-theme movie while sitting in real, old-time theatre seats and enjoying
a bag of popcorn. Seeing the Bible on the big screen is always a favorite.
Bible Buck Store
We have our Bible Buck Store on the last Sunday of every month. The store is a
favorite time when the children are rewarded Bible Bucks for Bible learning,
attendance, bringing their Bibles, and other positive things they can do. The
store is an opportunity to buy Christmas gifts for others, help with Mission
projects, and other acts of service beyond just buying toys for themselves.

Nursery
and Pre School Ronda Burgin has been with us for several years and is someone we trust with the children. We also have Marcia Cisneros, another experienced and caring member, working with our pre-school children. We often have young people helping our children under adult supervision. The children really enjoy them as well. You can feel confident about leaving your children in our care during the worship service. The nursery is available from 8:45 to 11:45 a.m., each Sunday. |
Visit
the Children’s
Library
We
have books, videos, reference books for teachers and parents, and adult books on
parenting and various Christian topics. The library is located in the Temple
Room on the lower level, the first door on the left past the Christian Education
desk.
Why buy books when you can check them out right here? We are looking for someone to come in once a month to maintain records and keep things organized. If you can help out, let Rosalie know. Donations to purchase library materials are always welcome.
