Children's Summer Sunday school

Jesus said, "Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these." Matthew 19:14

■ Sunday school for ages 3 to grade 5 will be available during 9:30 a.m. worship only.

■ A preschool class will be available for 11 a.m. worship in room 19.

■ The goal of Summer Sunday school is to give kids an experiential class focused on worship, which will involve music, prayer, story and feast.

■ All students will begin in the chapel at 9:30. There will be NO Children’s Moments this summer.

■ The first 20 minutes will involve large-group music, prayer and activities.

■ Children age 3 to rising grade 2 will stay in the chapel for the hour. Rising third- through fifth-graders will move to the lounge for the second half of the class. Older students will be picked up from the lounge at the end of the worship hour.

■ Children under 3 years old will be cared for in the nursery.

■ Because Sunday school teachers have the summer off, assistance from parents and others will be necessary to ensure the safety and enjoyment of kids in the kids’ worship setting.

■ At 11 a.m., school-aged children can attend either service. Young Readers Bulletins are available for them to follow the service, and McVay has a Kids Corner, which provides children various quiet activities.
