Children's Program
Toward the beginning of our regular
Sunday service, Tom engages the children in a lesson, often asking them to sit
on the floor near him by the altar. The adults in the congregation usually learn
as much from these "children's sermons" as do the children. The children
then go to the community room with their Sunday School teacher. Our teachers
are volunteers from the congregation who alternate Sundays. Teachers try to
bring alive traditional bible stories through interactive projects and crafts
with the children. The children in our one room Sunday School range in age,
and often the older ones enjoy helping the younger appreciate the involvement
of the older. The atmosphere is informal, friendly, and warm.
The children also help
with annual events at Church, such as our tag sale, cookouts, and Christmas
decorating and wrapping projects.
Every week the children are ask to bring a small contribution for a poor family
in Mississippi which has been "adopted" by the Church.
Our Mississippi project involves the children in outreach and encourages them
to be concerned with other's needs.
