SUNDAY SCHOOL

Sundays at 9:00 AM & 11:00 AM

ISLAND KIDS | 2s & 3s and 4s & 5s

This Sunday, we continue with our Christmas lessons, taking time to reflect on the true reason we celebrate: JESUS! Our Bible lesson will be based on Matthew 1:18-25 “Jesus, God’s special Son, came to live on earth.”

ISLAND KIDS | 1st-6th GRADES

1st-4th graders, get ready for a fun-filled morning with a VeggieTales Christmas Movie! Popcorn and drinks will be served. The kids will stay in the Fellowship Hall and can be picked up from there after the service.

5th and 6th graders will join their families in the sanctuary to listen to Pastor Chris' message.

Be sure to help your kids memorize our monthly memory verse: “[Mary] is going to have a son. You must give him the name Jesus. That’s because he will save his people from their sins.” Matthew 1:21 (NIrV)

Come on Vision Sunday to hear all about it!
