For Children & Youth – December 10
Nursery Care opens at 8:30. Jade and Lily are ready to play with your little one!
Sunday School starts at 9 am. PreK-1 children are invited to sing with Julie in the William Johnson room from 9:00-9:15. We’ll rehearse the song “Away in a Manger” for our Christmas Eve service. After the music, Jill and Josie will guide the children in Advent stories about the Prophets and Mary and Joseph and the Shepherds.
The 2-5 grade classroom will also explore the Prophets and Mary and Joseph and the Shepherds. Exploration stations will include writing Christmas cards to church elders, designing HOPE letters for our Christmas Eve service, sewing Christmas stars, nativity dioramas creation, and puzzles. Paul, Diane, and Jadyn will guide the children in their learning.
Children participating in the Christmas Eve Service will rehearse with Julie Mazer from 10-11 am. Please note that children will not attend worship. Pastor Kate will serve communion to the children downstairs. Anyone not participating in Christmas Eve is still invited to be downstairs. There will be opportunities for the children to design HOPE letters, write Christmas cards to our church elders, and draw Christmas scenes for our program. Bethany Schultz will be our Music Connections volunteer.
