| LITTLE LAMBS and CHILDREN'S WORSHIP |
Children's Worship for ages 2 and 3 (Little Lambs) offers an alternative to nursery and a chance for kids to begin learning Bible stories and Bible truths in a setting appropriate for their age and understanding. This group meets Sunday mornings during the school year through the entire morning worship service. During the morning worship service, children ages 4 through kindergarten leave with their approved adult helper after praying up front with the pastor and their leaders. Their time in Children's Worship is spent worshipping, learning about God's faithfulness and working in our lives and throughout the Bible, and responding through activities of their choosing. It is our prayer that we lay the foundation for the children to begin to know and understand God and the world He has made, His son and the powerful things He has done, and also to help the children to enjoy their first church experiences.
Our goal is to lead little ones to Jesus. Sunday School is a time spent in learning and singing new songs and also studying Bible lessons specifically geared to each child's age level. Following the morning worship service (11:00-11:45 a.m.) children grades kindergarten through 5th grade gather for a time of singing, lessons, activities, and discussions. The "Sunday School Choir" which practices each week during Sunday School, occasionally provides worship leadership during a morning or evening worship service, sharing with the congregation the songs of praise that they have been learning throughout the year. They also prepare a Christmas program to be shared with the congregation. Catechism is Biblical instruction (sometimes focused on the Heidelberg Catechism) for junior high and senior high youth. It meets from 11:15 a.m. to 11:45 a.m.
