Children in Worship
Nursery room is generally available for all worship services held at FUMC and is available during the entire service. It is located near the Sanctuary just at the top of our middle staircase and elevator.
Preschool age children spend worship in Sunday school, and older children and older children begin the service with their parents in the sanctuary and are dismissed to Sunday school after the announcements.
Moms Morning Out (MMO) is a child care program for at-home parents who need a break and would like to have their children cared for in a loving Christian environment. We have classes available for children birth to 5 years old. We provide snacks, Bible stories, gross motor activities, and crafts. Classes will be held on Wednesday and Thursday mornings from 9:15am – Noon. The monthly fee is $67. Registration is required.
Sunday School
Fall/Winter: Nursery-12th grade. Summer: Nursery- 5th grade. We offer theologically-sound, intentional lessons that engage students from preschool through high school that also connect with the Sunday worship service.
Preschool age children are dropped off before worship, and older children are dismissed after the announcements.
Third graders receive Communion and personalized Bibles on the first Sunday of October.
Vacation Bible School
FUMC invites all children, age 3 and fully potty-trained through 5th grade, to participate in this fun community week of activities, typically the first week in August. See events/news for registration beginning in the winter!
