SUNDAY SCHOOL
“You shall teach these words diligently to your children, and shall talk of them when you sit in your house, and when you walk by the way.” —Deuteronomy 6:7
Nursery
Care
We offer nursery care for infants and toddlers. The Bethany nursery has a hired staff person who is a trained childcare provider and is CPR certified.
Irene and Kiki warmly welcomes your child(ren) to our nursery and helps them feel comfortable so that you can enjoy worship.
Please remember to bring your child’s diapers, wipes and bottle and complete a nursery registration form when first dropping your child off at the nursery.
Sunday
School
Children are deeply spiritual beings. They are awed by creation, inquisitive about the workings of life and eager to be part of community. Our Sunday School strives to create a loving, safe environment in which your child can share their spiritual questions and prayers for their family and world. We teach Bible stories that speak of hope, forgiveness, redemption and virtues such as patience, humility and kindness. Our goal is not to convert your child to a certain dogma or belief system, but instead, help them to experience the essence of Christ that already resides in their soul. We are currently using "Seasons Encore" by Seasons of the Spirit for our elementary school-aged children and "Godly Play" story boxes for our Pre-K and Kindergarten students. Activities include show and tell, cooking, brain teaser puzzles, crafts, music making, and more.
Parents/Guardians are welcome to join their children in class.
We want you to be familiar with the workings of our church and invite parents/guardians to attend class with their child if they so desire. The children also take part in mission by donating quarters to a designated project. In 2007, our children raised over $5000 for an ark through the Heifer Project. Sunday School runs from early September through Children’s Day in June. In the summer months, there are special activities planned for children during worship each week.
To register your child for Sunday School, email the office or call 802-728-5849. Please fill out and bring this registration form with you on the first day of Sunday School. We look forward to having your children join us!
