Sunday School - Sunday, 9:40 a.m.

Preschool in “The Meadow” begins on Sunday mornings at 9:40 and continues into the worship hour at 10:40.  During the 9:40 hour traditional preschool activities are offered in “The Meadow” for our youngest babies, toddles and preschoolers. A simple Bible Story is taught and age appropriate crafts and activities follow. The teachers welcome your child and know that a child’s first experience gathering with friends to learn about God’s love for them is crucial. That is why our teachers are very intentional when greeting your child and helping them to immediately engage in the activities for the morning. Separation from parents at this age can be tricky, for the parents and the child. That is why we have large viewing windows to check on the child often and a “parents are welcome to stay” policy.

Our teachers use “Heart Shapers” curriculum from Standard Publishing during the 9:40 hour.

For our somewhat older preschoolers and their parents there is a program called “Spotlight” that is offered in room 205, The Spot. This is a family gathering time and preschoolers and their significant adult are welcome to attend. The morning starts with singing, worship, a Bible story and then the children and their parents break off into age appropriate small group time with a dedicated teacher. Our lessons for “Spotlight” are taken from “Living Inside Out” a Group publishing curriculum.

Extended Session - Sunday, 10:40 a.m.

Preschoolers continue following Jesus and finding friends at 10:40 each Sunday morning in “The Meadow”. Older preschoolers that attended “Spotlight” at 9:40 will join their friends in “The Meadow” for the 10:40 hour. During this time they will have supervised play time, snack time and lots of hugs and encouragement from their extended session teachers. Stories, crafts and projects that were started in the 9:40 hour will continue to be built upon in the worship hour. The parents will pick up their preschoolers at the conclusion of the worship service. Only adults with proper identification will be allowed to pick up the preschoolers. Bring your child and see how much fun they will have meeting new friends and beginning their life-long journey of following Jesus. Parents are welcome to stay.

Bitty KID’S Club - Wednesdays, 6:15 p.m.

Bitty KID’S club is our midweek ministry for children, birth - 4 years old.  They meet Wednesday evenings in the Meadow beginning at 6:15 p.m. and are busy until 7:30 p.m. when they get picked up.  They hear stories of the Bible, learn Bible truths, sing songs, play with friends, do simple crafts, and of course have a snack.

We understand separation from parents at this age can be difficult for the parents and the child.  That is why we have large viewing windows to check on the child often and a “parents are welcome to stay” policy.
