The Grace Children ministry has a team of committed dynamic
adults working with the children in the Gracey ministry. The children
are anxious to move from the nursery to the upstairs with the “big
kids” (ages 4 ½ to 5th grade) where Grace provides a safe, fun environment
where children can learn and play.
All curriculums are Bible
based and there is a lot of emphasis on prayer and learning
how to use the Bible. While we teach them the Bible stories we learned
as children, we also teach them the practical application for their
lives. The ultimate goal is to equip children to be lifetime followers
and servants of Christ. Grace believes parents are responsible for
their children’s spiritual development and our job is to come along
side you to reinforce aid and assist in every way possible.
The staff uses all kinds of different
ideas to keep things fresh and moving from puppets, movies and much
more. Church should be a fun place to learn and we accomplish that
by keeping a fast pace so there is no time for boredom. Grace also
offers some friendly competition for the children to learn the books
of the Bible, the gifts of the Spirit, the Armor of God, and the
Ten Commandments some of the prizes for the winner have been bicycles.
Silly Sunday (the
5th Sunday of the month)
It always the 5th Sunday of the month and is the children’s favorite
Sunday. It is just as the name implies, SILLY. The day is based
around a subject, theme and/or color. The lesson is reinforced by
all activities and food. It is a time of fun and learning. Some
examples of Silly Sunday are a snow day when we talked about being
white as snow and threw plastic snow all over and made snow angels
on the floor. We also had a red day celebrating the blood of Jesus
where we tinted everyone’s hair red and ate all red foods.
