Children’s Minister: Rev. Rebecca Rutherford
SUNDAY:
Nursery - Childcare for ages 6 weeks-4 year olds (that are not yet in Pre-K) is provided at all worship services in Taylor Hall. We also have nursery provided at all other worship services and church sponsored events. If your group needs nursery, please email Rev. Becca at becca.rutherford@navarreumc.org.
Sunday School -There are classes for all ages at 10:30am in Taylor Hall. See Sunday Schedule below for more information regarding classes and times. Parents must sign in/out children attending.
Children's Church (9am)- Children in grades K - 5th grade are dismissed after the Children's Sermon to go to Hildreth Hall for Kidmo, a high energy, media curriculum that teaches Truths about God, the importance of memory verses and sharing what they’ve learned. The children compete for points during Kwizmo – boys against girls, of course! The children return to the Sanctuary during the closing song. There is no children's church on Communion Sundays.
"Wee Worship" (9am) is for Pre-K and Kindergarten ages. This will focus on learning about Christian Seasons, Sacraments and Acts of Worship. They will learn about prayer, learn songs, and, of course, learn through hands on experience (play).
