Each day will
provide fun,
memorable
Bible-learning
activities where
kids sing catchy
songs, play
team-building games,
nibble treats,
experience Bible
stories in fun and
interactive ways,
and create crafts
that help them
remember the lesson.
Plus children have
an opportunity to
live out their faith
by supporting a
mission project. VBS
is for children who
are at least 3 years
old & potty-trained
through those who
are entering the 5th
grade (older
children may
volunteer). Children
need not be a member
of FUMC or any other
church for that
matter – all are
welcome! |
Special Events
The Special Events Planning
Team provides fellowship
opportunities for children and
their families; and provides
programs and events which reach
out to new families in our
community. They provide seasonal
events such as a yearly Advent
Party, fellowship programs that
encourage intergenerational
activities, and family support
ministries such as Couples
Nights Out.
Sing & Praise
The Sing & Praise team provides
both an inspirational and
enthusiastic setting where
children can sing and praise God
on Sunday morning from 10:00 –
10:30 in the Fellowship Hall.
This 30-minute program enriches
children through contemporary
Christian songs and traditional
hymns.
