Prayground
We believe that school age
children can stay in worship
with their parents (grades k-
3rd). During the services we
have created a space in the
back where they can “hang out”
during the sermon and work,
read, color or draw while they
listen.
Sun. School con’t
All classes are following the
Workshop Rotation Model of
Sunday school except the
2nd/3rd grade. The last
Sunday of the month is games
and fellowship in the gym.
Musical—grades K-6th
If your child likes to perform
or sing, sign them up in
November! The CD will be
given out in December so you
can practice over the break.
Practices are normally on
Sunday during Jan-Mar and
they will perform before
Easter.
TNT—The New Tweens!
Our 4th/5th graders meet the
2nd Sun. of every month to

participate in missions.

together

Advent Angels
Kids, with their parents, create
4 gifts for each week in Advent.
Each family is assigned a shut
in or someone who is sick.
During each week of advent the
family delivers the gift in

reveal your identity!

Families meet together to
make their advent wreath,
eat dessert and sing some
Christmas songs. ($)
Devotional Yoga Every Wednesday we meet at 9:30-10:30 to do a devotional that is incorporated into yoga. The yoga is meant to be for relaxation and stretching. Cost is $5 and childcare is provided in the gym during the school year.
Sun. School/Stepping Stones
Children of all ages meet from
9:00-9:55 for Sunday school. K
-5th meet in the Lounge for a
gathering and short worship.
Each grade has a stepping
stone that they learn during
the year (Lord’s Prayer,
Doxology, Apostle’s Creed, etc)
to help them in their
participation for worship.
