 "Children learn more from models than from critics." -- Mother Teresa
 
The Christian Education Hour on Sunday begins at 9:35 a.m. with music in room 208.  Following music, the children move to their classes.

Those classes are:
3 year olds-Preschool—room 103
Kindergarten—room 207
1st & 2nd Grade—room 205
3rd & 4th Grade—room 204
5th & 6th Grade—room 203

The hour ends with prayer and meditation time.  The children and teachers use the Seasons of the Spirit curriculum material which is lectionary based.  Since the lectionary is used in our worship services, this provides a coordinated learning experience.

Playing at First United Methodist Church!
Baby boy playing at Baby Escapade 2006
Baby girl playing at Baby Escapade 2006Baby Escapade is a gathering of families who have children 3 years old and under.  This event provides an opportunity for parents of young children to become acquainted.  The children play and get to know each other.  We share a potluck meal with ice cream sundaes for dessert!!  Each 3 year old and under is given a small gift from the congregation in honor of their presence with us.
Noah's Ark Children's Library
The Children's Library is open every Sunday morning at 8:15.  Stop by and check out the books, videos and other "goodies."  Please remember to return the items you've checked out in a timely fashion so they are available for everyone!

 

Hosanna and Youth Choirs
Hosanna Choir is for children age 4 years old through second grade and Youth Choir is for seventh through twelfth graders.  You may be asking yourself, "What about the ages in-between those two?"  Good question!  We didn't have quite the response we'd hoped for and so those in that age group get to choose the Choir they want to join.  We're hoping that we'll have enough to make up a Choir for that in-between age and so if that's your child, bring them Sunday!
   Rehearsals for these choirs are:
4:00-5:00 p.m., Clark Rehearsal Hall--Youth Choir and 4:50-5:15 p.m., room 208--Hosanna Choir
   Eve Norton is your director for Hosanna Choir and Wayne Moore is your director for Youth Choir.  All choirs are open and we'd love to have you join us--no experience necessary, just a desire to learn!
 For more information on the choirs, please contact Mark Kurtz, Director of Music Ministries, at 556-6262, ext. 1021 or via e-mail at Mark.Kurtz@fumcomaha.org.
