This year's theme for kids worship is God's Children Have Purpose.
We will spend the year discussing the children of the Bible, and explore the purpose Bethel's kids play in God's kingdom (including our families, our church, our schools, and our community).
Schedule
*Held immediately after church (11:45am) the Sunday before Youth Impact Sunday.
Schedule
For children ages 3-7 (who are potty trained), Children's Worship is held every 2nd, 3rd, and 4th Sunday during the 9:30 am worship service. Families worship together in the main sanctuary, then children are dismissed after praise and worship (before the sermon), and proceed into the Fellowship Hall. Parents should pick up their children at the end of the service.
2nd Sundays will now be YPD Sundays (Young People's and Children's Division). Kids are encouraged to wear green and white. YPD Sundays will give children the opportunity to learn about the history and traditions of the African Methodist Episcopal Church and about the concept of serving others (missions). Throughout the year the children will make cards and other items for residents of The Boston Home and St Joseph Home. A few Sundays per year, families will be encouraged to visit these two nursing homes during Bethel's regularly scheduled afternoon worship services to help kids put a face to those they've been praying about and making gifts for.
