| | Andrew's Raising Kids (A.R.K.) The A.R.K. offers quality programming every Sunday morning for all children from birth through elementary school age. Infants and toddlers are warmly welcomed in our nursery by experienced, paid childcare staff.
Preschoolers (age 4+) through elementary aged children are invited to participate in our Workshop Rotation Sunday School.
This innovative way of teaching God's Word allows children to learn as they do best
- through play! Each story or Bible teaching is presented in a series of at least 4 different Workshops over 4 consecutive Sundays.
This approach makes lessons fun for the kids, and provides them with the multiple sensory input they need for successful learning. The Scope and Sequence
planned for the programs coming up are as follows:
| April |
I am the Resurrection and the life |
Children will explore this one of the "I
am" statements Jesus made, in the context of Jesus’ own crucifixion
and resurrection. |
| May |
Movies in May |
Children will revisit Bible stories and themes
through video. |
| Summer |
Life in Bible Times |
The children will learn more about what it was
like to live in Jesus’ time while exploring the stories of his birth,
death and resurrection. Each week, the children will go to our own
Bible Times Village (set up in the Great Hall), learn about Bible times
customs and crafts, and study scripture. Based on Group’s "MarketPlace"
VBS curriculum. |
