SPECIAL ACTIVITIES FOR CHILDREN THROUGHOUT THE YEAR
CHILDREN’S ASH WEDNESDAY SERVICE – Each year on Ash Wednesday, children are invited to their very own Children’s Ash Wednesday Service. At 6:15 p.m. this special service is presented by both adults and children, reminding us all of just how much God loves us. Music Director Keith Robinson leads the music and our Kid's Kouncil presents the story. Children, parents and grandparents are welcome!
JOURNEY TO JERUSALEM – During Sunday School on Palm Sunday we invite the children’s Sunday School classes to take a very special journey...a journey around the church grounds where they will find adults and youth acting out the stories of the life of Jesus Christ. It’s a time we look very forward to!
CHILDREN’S CHURCH – Children age 5 years through 2nd grade attending the 10:30 a.m. worship services are invited to join together in room 106 for stories and fun in Children’s Church. Beginning September 4th, Children's Church will be using the Kid's Own Worship curriculum. This ministry starts shortly after worship begins. The reviews are in from past years and this ministry is a hit with both children and parents. We do not offer Children’s Church on Communion Sundays so children can join their families for Communion.
ACOLYTES – Children in 4th, 5th and 6th grades are invited to join our Acolyte Program. This ministry is very important to our church and each boy and girl participating adds to the worshipful nature of our 8:00 and 10:30 a.m. traditional worship services. If you would like to participate, please contact Children's Coordinator Janice Paterson. Starting in September 2011, the 2012 Confirmation Class will join the Acolyting program as one of their mission projects for the church.
CHRIST CHOIR- Christ Choir is for 1st through 5th grade children. It is a time to learn about music, learn about ourselves, and learn about God. Christ Choir music will be rehearsed during the Sunday School music assembly each Sunday, with special afternoon rehearsals as performances draw near. For more information, contact Music Director Keith Robinson at 210-363-5641.
EVENING VACATION BIBLE SCHOOL - In the summer, children can experience this week of fun and Bible learning. An “Adult VBS” is also offered to those wishing to take part. The 2012 VBS theme will be Operation: Overboard! VBS will take place June 10th-14th!
TRUNK OR TREAT - On October 31st each year, we invite our church members to drive their cars and trucks to the Austin/College St. parking lot, open the trunks or drop the tail gates and decorate their vehicle as they would their front porch for Halloween. From 6:00-8:00 p.m. we invite the children of our community to "Trunk-or-Treat" to have a safe and fun-filled evening. Bring your camera and join us for a great experience!
CHILDREN’S BIBLE PRESENTATIONS – Our Third Graders receive Bibles the Sunday before Seguin ISD starts school in the fall. Our Confirmands (6th graders), although they are now now in the Youth Dept., receive new Bibles during their first youth group class. Should your child fall into any of these areas and join us mid-year, please let Children's Coordinator Janice Paterson know. We can never find enough opportunities to share God’s word with our youngest disciples!
