Our Children's Sunday School is divided up into five classes designed to meet the specific developmental needs of each child. Sunday School begins at 9:00 every Sunday morning. Nursery - Our Nursery is divided into two seperate rooms. Newborns through 18 months are in Room 1 and are taken care of by Ms. Jonna Pattison during Sunday School and all other church functions. Children ages 18 months through 3 years are in Room 2. Mrs. Carlie May teaches Sunday School and provides care and activities for the children during all other church meetings. Both rooms of the nursery are equiped with video surveillance and are located in the south end of our education wing. Pre-School - Mrs. Mary Jones, Mrs. Millie Stratton and Ms. Robin Thomas head up our Pre-School Sunday School class. This class is designed for children ages three through five. Using a hands-on appraoch to learning, children are taught bible stories with an application to their own lives. The Pre-School Sunday School meets in our church library, located in the education wing. Children I - Children who are in Kindergarten through second grade are taught by Mrs. Violet Stephens and Mrs. Vivian Hancock. Biblical concepts are reinforced in this class through activities, music and drawing. Children will learn about the bible while havig fun. Children I meets upstairs in the Multi-Purpose Building. Children II - Mrs. Sharon Simmons and Mrs. Diane May teach our Children II division, comprised of those who are in third through fith grades. These teachers take children a little deeper in the Bible through the use of activities and discussion, helping them gain a greater understanding of God's word. Children II meets upstairs in the Multi-Purpose Building. |
During the Sunday morning worship service (10:00 AM), all children aged three through second grade are encouraged to attend our Children's Worship time in the Adult Building. Children's Worship Time allows children to receive a message from the Bible delivered at their lvel of understanding. During this time, a lesson will be presented to the children. Children will also complete a craft, play a game and sing songs to reinforce their learning. A small snack is also provided at the beginning of the hour. A rotating staff of teachers is headed up by Mrs. Sherry Magness. They are provided with the lesson and activity suggestions. |
Every Sunday afternoon at 4:45, Mrs. Sharon Simmons and Mrs. Millie Stratton team up to provide children a time of fun and learing. Children ages three years through fifth grade meet in the room behind the sanctuary to sing, color and learn about biblical hereos. |
On Wednesday night, staring at 6:00 PM, all children ages three years through fifth grade are invited to attend Noah's Park in the gym. This is a time for children to gather together to learn about different themes of the Bible. Currently, the Noah's Park theme is about Prayer. The children will learn how to pray, why to pray and other important facts about prayer through the use of different activities. The Noah's Park team works together to try to make al of the activites reinforce the topic. Each Wednesday, Mrs. DeeAnna May will present a short lesson on the current topic. Then, children will be lead in recreation time by Ms. Astrid Gentry, in praise time by Mrs. Heather Rowe, in music time by Mrs. Stephanie |
