Sunday Mornings for Children
|
|
We believe that children are a vital part of the church, and we welcome them into every part of worship at Plymouth. That means we welcome their giggles, wiggles, and everything in-between! During each service, we invite children to the front of the sanctuary for an interactive teaching moment related to big ideas we will be engaging that morning.
We also know that sitting still through services can be hard for some children. We want Plymouth to be a place where parents can connect without worrying about quieting their kids. In our Fellowship Hall, we have a Children's Worship station, stocked with books, coloring pages, and toys that your family is welcome to use. Our nursery is offered as an open playroom during both services for wiggly worshipers. |
Between services during the school year, we will be offering weekly Sunday School following the Godly Play model, a Montessori-based curriculum. Children three-years-old through fifth grade may join us in the North Room at 10 a.m.
Vacation Bible SchoolFrom June 12-16, 2023, we will be joining First Presbyterian Church (531 S College Ave) for VBS! This year, we will be using Cokesbury's Hero Hotline.
We are looking for all kinds of volunteers, like group leaders, a recreation leader, a photographer, a puppeteer, bandana makers, decorators, and brainstormers. Contact Brooklyn if you're interested. Registration is open now & will stay open until it fills up. Reserve your spot today! |
