Christian Education
Our Sunday School children learned a song and shared it with the congregation! See the link below!
At Good Shepherd UMC we offer Sunday School for children of all ages (ages toddler-17)! Sunday School is held during Sunday morning worship from 10 AM-11 AM. Students start by worshiping with their families in the sanctuary for our opening music, prayers, and liturgy. After the children's time (about 20-25 minutes into the service), students head off to Sunday School. During Sunday School, students are broken into age level groups where they read Biblical stories, do art projects, learn music, pray, share their faith, and grow in Christian faith and development. After a half an hour, students return to the sanctuary in time to share in Communion (1st Sunday of the Month) and to close out the service with the entire congregation.
Of course, students are always welcome to remain in worship with their families! Children's Bulletins that include games, activities, and coloring are available weekly. Please see an usher.
We do not have a staffed nursery at this time. However, infants and toddlers are welcome to remain in worship with their families. We like their little noises! Please consider using our PrayGround for the 3 and under crowd. An adult must accompany a child in the PrayGround, and all are asked to help clean up when finished. This area has toys and activities that rotate periodically on a brightly colored foam mat and is located at the front of the sanctuary so the littlest disciples can see the service. Also, the parlor is available during worship on the same level as the sanctuary, and you can still hear the service. Restrooms on both levels of the church have changing tables for your use (please bring your own supplies). Please make sure your child is supervised at all times.
All staff and volunteers are background checked. If you would like to volunteer with our Christian Education program, please contact Pastor Randy through our Children and Youth Ministries.
Christian Education and Sunday School are led by our Minister for Children and Youth, Pastor Randy. Please call the church office with any questions at 410-243-1129.
