Second Grade Preparation for Worship Classes
The Prep for Worship Class has been designed to help children first-third grade and their families strengthen their participation in worship. During the 4-week series, we will learn about the different parts of the sanctuary and worship services, learn about the sacraments– Communion and Baptism and explore the “whys” of big church: why are hymns important? Why do we use a bulletin? What’s in those stained glass windows?
Vacation Bible School is a fun journey of bible discovery, singing, games, art projects, storytelling, and more. Each summer rising four year old’s through rising fifth graders are invited to join youth and adult volunteers for a fantastic camp adventure.
These Are Our Bodies
“These Are Our Bodies” is a faith-based, developmentally appropriate human sexuality seminar for current fifth and sixth graders and their parents. The program will again be led by Jenny Beaumont, a Christian educator with over 25 years’ experience in education and ministry. Jenny uses direct and indirect teaching around God’s creation, scripture, and sexuality as a gift from God.
Special Events– Throughout the year First Presbyterian offers special opportunities for children of all ages to learn and grow in their faith. The annual Christmas pageant, at the early Christmas Eve service, is a great way for children age three-fifth grade to experience the Christmas story. On the first Sunday of Advent each year children and their families are invited to attend the Advent Festival where they learn about preparing for the Christ child through crafts and mission projects.
