Sunday School

The Team has been discussing some new strategies for working with our children and youth. Instead of having a traditional “Sunday School” the team has decided to try a new approach for our children. This new program will be taught during the Worship Hour as indicated above. The children (grade K-8) will participate in the first part of worship (announcements, praise songs) and when the Family Time is done, they will be excused to attend Kids Connection or Caught in the Middle.

The curriculum for grades K-5 is called 252 Basics. The program is based on Biblical Virtues, concentrating on one virtue each month. The curriculum for grades 6-8 will be determined soon, but may be 252 Basics as well.

Please Note: High School Youth Group and Adult Studies are still in planning for the fall.

More information about the 252 Basics program can be found at www.whatisorange.org .

Teens need to be with teens, and they need that good influence to keep them on track. The High School youth group shows our teens that fun and being a Christian just naturally go together. They enjoy getting together for the Corn Maze, Christmas Party, Caroling, Super Bowl Party, Watson Homestead, Movies, games, and discussing topics important to kids of this age. We are very proud of our active teen group.

Special Activities

M..A.D. Week - Our unique Summer Vacation Bible School. M.A.D. stands for Music, Art, And Drama. Students in K-7 spend each morning learning a an important lesson while having fun making sets, singing songs, and putting together a presentation. Older youth often volunteer as helpers. At the end of the week the presentation is put on for family members and church friends. This group draws in many from our community who do not even attend our church. Fun while learning, the best of both worlds.
