This is Sunday school for a new generation! Elementary students focus on a unit of the same Biblical theme for five weeks. During this time, they reiterate the lesson with five different learning experiences: games, drama, crafts & cooking, video, and computers. These activities can help reach children of many learning styles! To find our more about Rotation Sunday School, please visit PowerXpress. |

Children in the Fish, Sheep, and Stars rooms participate in an inviting interactive and age- appropriate time of worship from 11:10-11:40 A.M. (during the 10:55 worship services) in room 104. We currently use the Live Big curriculum for Sunday school and Children's worship for the Fish, Sheep and Stars. We follow the Toddler Two's for the Bunnies and Frogs.

Children's Worship: |
|
Children in first through third grades are invited to leave the worship service with our Elements escort and come to the Lighthouse classroom for Elements of Worship. During this time, we explore the components of our worship services (such as Communion, the creed, use of the hymnal, and sending forth to serve) so that children may understand worship better when they are with your family. Elements does not meet on the first Sunday of the month, so that children may celebrate Communion with their families. |

Bundles of Joy is a program the Children’s Ministry and Care Team provide together for expecting families. These families may be expecting a child from birth or adoption, and we would like to celebrate with them, pray for them, and keep in contact with them. We hope that families stay connected and feel supported during these family transitions. Bundles of Joy is a ministry for which families will need to sign up in the nursery or on the 2nd floor, outside the Early Childhood Director’s office. We are specifically offering contact during pregnancy or the waiting period before adoption, contact after the arrival of the bundle of joy, and an offer of a meal from the Care Team . |
