Children's Ministries:
"O God, you have taught me from my earliest
childhood,
and I have told others about the wonderful things you do."
Psalms 71:17
Children’s Choirs
Our children’s choir season begins in September and ends in May.
Small Grace Choir This precious choir is for children ages 2
yrs.—4 yrs. They meet on select Sundays and practice for the last 15 minutes of
the 9:45 Sunday school hour. The kids perform at several worship services and
special events throughout the year. Every child who would like to participate is
welcome and invited to do so.
Cherub Choir This choir is for kids in Kindergarten through 2nd
grade. Rehearsals take place most Wednesday nights @ 6:30 pm—7:30 pm upstairs in
our loft area. Our Cherubs perform during several worship services and special
events throughout the year.
Lord’s Children’s Choir All kids in 3rd—6th grades are invited
to join our Lord’s Children’s Choir. Rehearsals take place most Wednesday nights
@ 6:30 pm—7:30 pm upstairs in our loft area. This choir performs during several
worship services and special events throughout the year.
Sunday School
Our Sunday school program is designed with the whole family in mind. We offer
a varied and complete curriculum program the appeals to all the learning styles
of children. Our programs are also different at 9:45 and 11:00 so that children
can attend Sunday school twice and still be enriched with a varied lesson. Our
teachers are dedicated and caring—they make Sunday school a place of love and
safety for all the children who attend Alliance. Our goal is for each child to
leave class with the message that God loves them! They will color, cut, paste,
read stories, play games, read the Bible, share prayers, eat snacks, paint and
even plant seeds along the way, but it all boils down to that fundamental
message of God’s enduring love.
Vacation Bible School 2008: July 28th – August 1st
All children ages 3-years (and fully potty trained) to 6th grade are invited
to join us for Beach Party VBS! Registration will begin in June for this
phenomenal event—keep an eye out for more updates on this website! Everyone is
invited to attend!!!
Puppet Team
Alliance UMC has just launched its brand new Puppet Team! Everyone ages 3rd
grade to adults is invited to participate. This isn’t your average puppet show!
We will be learning the art of puppetry as a medium for sharing God’s love with
everyone. No experience necessary, but commitment is required. Contact the
church office for scheduling information.
God Squad
All 5th and 6th graders are invited to be a part of this new and quickly
growing ministry. Each month there is a great activity planned—dates and time
vary according to the activity. It’s a wonderful opportunity for fun and
fellowship that no 5th or 6th grader should miss… For more information on
upcoming events, contact Marla Allsopp at
children@allianceumc.net.
Confirmation
Beginning in January of each year, all 6th graders are given the opportunity
to participate in an exciting confirmation program. The program goes through
May. It is an essential part of the spiritual formation of our 6th graders as
they work with the pastor, staff and (adult) friends of faith. At the end of
confirmation, the kids are given the opportunity to make an informed, adult
profession of faith. Our Confirmation 2008 class has already started, but please
contact the church office if you have any questions or would like more
information. |
