SUNDAY SCHOOL

Our Sunday School is for children of every age and ability, from Kindergarten through 7th grade. We tell stories of the Bible using a lens of love and justice. Sunday School classes are designed to create a sense of belonging for children in their church community. We participate in the mission of the church in the wider world through service projects. We sing, we play, we create.

  1. During the year, we have a variety of kinds of classes:
    Themed units – for 3-4 weeks at a time, children have a different lesson each week relating to the theme. Examples of some themes are Baptize, Confess, and Follow Jesus.
  2. Service projects – several times a year, the children get together with adults to do projects which will benefit others. Examples of past projects are: packing lunches for the Hospitality Center, putting together hygiene kits for the WI Veterans Center, making cards to send to sick and homebound members, making fleece blankets for HALO, and putting together art kits for the Children’s Hospital.
  3. Spiritual Disciplines – a few times a year, the children have a class with one of our pastors to talk about different spiritual disciplines, e.g. centering prayer, lectio divina, labyrinths, etc.
  4. Intergenerational Activities – different groups in the church will prepare activities to do with our Sunday school to promote relationships across ages. Past activities have been: environmental projects with the Caring for Creation group, and making banners or ornaments with the Fellowship, Fabric, and Fiber group.
  5. Music – one or two times a year, one of our musical members meets with the children to learn the songs of our faith. During this time the children learn seasonal and worship hymns and music as well as fun Bible songs.

Nursery

Childcare is available for infants and toddlers on Sunday mornings (9:30 a.m. – 11:30 a.m.) so that parents may attend worship (all children are also always welcome to remain with their parents in the sanctuary during worship). Parents are welcome to drop their children off at any point during the worship service. Please ask an usher if you need directions.

Our Nursery & Toddler Room are professionally staffed with assistance from congregation members. All adults in the nursery have undergone a background check and gone through our Safe Church training.
