SUNDAY MORNING CHILDREN'S PROGRAMS
Preschool
– 4th graders
Children
actively participate in a series of rotating workshops that change weekly. We spend 4 to 6 weeks concentrating on one
significant Bible story. We think this
offers children a deeper understanding of God’s love and what it means to live
as a Christian. We use art, drama,
games, science, cooking, music, and movies. Children are divided by age and use different
rooms every week. Teachers call it a spiritual
and biblical experience. Kids call it
fun. To learn more, check out www.rotation.org.
Middle
School class for Grades 6-8.
The Mid School class meets Sunday from
9:45-10:45 am in a room decorated for and by them. They mix Bible study with discussions about
daily life. Remember life in Middle
School? Each class offers opportunity
for study, prayer, service projects, and fellowship. The class follows the Seasons of the Spirit
curriculum. It’s based on the scripture
lessons read in church that Sunday.
Senior
High class for Grades 9-12.
The Senior High class meets Sunday from
Confirmation
Class
The Confirmation Class is for students in at
least the 9th grade who are considering joining the church. It meets Sunday mornings from late January
through May. This is an opportunity to
explore personal faith, the Presbyterian Church, and the Fairview congregation. We have retreats, special speakers, and
discussion. Each student takes on an independent
study project and makes a presentation in May.
It’s less work and more fun than a book reportJ
. After finishing the class, students
have the opportunity to become official members of
Children’s
Chapel Class
During the 11:00 am worship service
We don’t expect children to sit quietly
during an entire worship service! We
have children’s worship bulletins with puzzles and coloring, along with bags of
crayons. Children sit with their
parent(s) for the beginning of the service.
The pastor has a special “Time with Children” before the sermon. They gather ‘round for a short story or
lesson and usually add a few of their own thoughts. Kids after all say the darndest things.
Afterwards, they follow their teacher to
class for a bible story, crafts, games, and a snack. Parents can relax and participate in the
service. We recommend Chapel Class for 3
year olds through 1st graders.
However older children are welcome.
