What is the Parent Help Rotation Program?
Our new curriculum from Group (they have provided us with the very successful Family Sunday ideas last year) is based on a rotation workshop model. Our teachers will teach the Bible Lesson, Mrs. G will teach the music section and the parents will be participating in the “Friends” snack/craft/game portion.

We chose a new curriculum that needed to meet the following criteria:
Easy to use with a rotation style
Bible-rich with memory verses
Music integration to include percussion along with singing
Focus on helping children and adults grow TOGETHER in their relationship with Jesus.

The last bullet item is particularly exciting since parents will be active participants in their child's Christian Education, fulfilling the commitment they made at their child's baptism to
help their child walk throughout their lives with Jesus.

YOUTH & FAMILY MINISTRY
Family Sunday

We are planning 3 Family Sunday Outreach Events this year. Family Sunday
is a FUN interactive fellowship event for all ages including friends, neighbors and
parents to learn more about Jesus.
Fall Harvest Event
Advent
Easter
Parents will be asked to volunteer and help as in the past and we encourage you to
bring your friends and neighbors. This program has been a great success and
many children from the community and other church families participate.
We have a great reputation for making learning about God fun!

Community Youth Group

We are working on a program that began as a desire to form a youth group in our community for our youth. By combining forces with other area churches with the same goal we hope to have strength in numbers. The program has the following goals:
To empower the High School youth , as well as the Middle School youth.
Contain an element of community service.
And most of all be a FUN way to deepen relationships with each other.
This is a very exciting program that is just in its developing stages. The YOUTH in this program will be developing the plan of events, ask for more details.

Serve the Lord with gladness.
Come before His presence with singing.”
