First Methodist Church

During this time of social distancing, we are doing

something new for our weekly Children’s ministry.

Instead of doing our Wonderful Wednesdays’

programming in a large group, Pastor Kim will be bringing

the Bible study and activities to your backyard (or front yard)

this summer.

Watch for a call you soon to see if you are interested

and what day and time works best for you.

SUNDAY SCHOOL – Children of all ages enjoy learning Biblical truths in fun and creative ways starting at 9:00 AM.

CHILDREN’S MESSAGE – Children are given their moment in the morning worship service as “Mrs. Katie.” Leads them through short scriptural messages.

BLESSING OF THE BACKPACK AND BIBLE PRESENTATIONS FOR 3 YEAR OLDS & 3RD GRADERS: The Sunday before school starts we pray blessings over our children, youth and educators as they begin a new school year.

ROCKABYE READERS – Each Sunday, a volunteer leaves the church service during announcements and go to the infant nursery. In the nursery there will be a Children’s Bible Storybook.

The volunteer gathers the babies around them, reads them a short story, and says a quick prayer with the babies! Attention spans are short, and the babies may walk around, play, scream, or eat through the entire story,

HOWEVER, members of the congregation still pour into them. They are still hearing the Word of God in language they can understand!

TOUCH THE WATER / TASTE THE BREAD – Children in the 1st grade participate in a 3-week course that prepares them for communion.

SERVICE OVER SELF – Children are encouraged to participate in outreach programs through-out the year including food and toy drives, nursing home visits and holiday celebrations.

Jesus said, “Let the little Children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of Heaven belongs to such as these.” Matthew 19:14.
