If you love working with children and want to make a difference in their spiritual growth, we’d love to have you on the team. No prior teaching experience required – just a willing heart and a love for kids! Opportunities include: teaching or assisting in classrooms (ages vary), helping with crafts, etc. No lesson prep needed, just come as you are and have fun with the kids! Please email Becky in the Christian Ed office at northcckids@gmail.com to volunteer or ask any questions! Sunday School begins in mid-September and will meet weekly through the end of May!
At North Church, we celebrate kids! The body of Christ includes everyone, and that means kids, too! Church isn't church without kid noises, reminding us that they are the church of the future.
We do our best to create a space where children can share life and learn the faith together. It’s a safe space, so each child can decide their level of engagement. If something that we’ve planned isn't working for someone, we make it possible to do something else.
Sunday School registration and classes begin in September with Rally Sunday and follow the public school schedule, wrapping up near the end of May. Every lesson begins by reciting the Lord’s Prayer together. Then we read a Bible story and ask questions about what that story means to us. There’s always an activity to reflect a little further on that day’s story- crafts or games of all kinds.
​
For our children who prefer to stay with their families during the worship service, ‘Busy Bags’ can be found in the front and back of the sanctuary. These fun activity bags contain coloring pages, books, and crayons for children to use while enjoying the service. During special services, like Palm Sunday and Easter, when there is no Sunday School, we offer fun Children’s Bulletins and activity pages for them to enjoy during the service. But the nursery is always open as well!
​
A restroom with a changing table is just outside the sanctuary. If your little ones are chatty or squirmy and you are uncomfortable, feel free to walk around or do what is best for you and your child. Explain what's going on to them, and if you're not sure how to explain it, we’re happy to help answer any questions!
​
Our children enjoy hosting Coffee Hour in our parlor occasionally, and helping with activities for the younger children as well. We have an amazing sense of church family at North Congregational and would love to share it with you!
Volunteers to assist with Sunday School or caring for our littler ones in the nursery are always welcome!
​
Wherever you are on life’s journey,
YOU AND YOUR CHILDREN ARE WELCOME HERE!
For questions or registration help, feel free to contact the Christian Ed Coordinator, Becky Moraniec, at northcckids@gmail.com
