Children, Youth, and Families
Whatever your age, there are opportunities for you at First United Methodist Church.
Now-May 2024
Sunday school begins at 11:10 a.m. following the Children’s Message.
Nursery care is available.
Wednesday nights start at 5:30 pm with a community dinner in partnership with Christ Episcopal Church and First Congregational UCC!
For Kids
Regular
On the first Sunday of the month, we worship together for the entire service at 9:30 a.m. so that everyone gets a chance to practice doing church.
On the other Sundays, after the children’s message (around 11:10 a.m.) kids (age 3+) are excused for Sunday School. They read Bible stories, play games, do activities, and talk about the love of God.
If you need a refresh mid-week, we gather as a community on Wednesday evenings to share a meal (5:30 p.m.) and then break off into age-appropriate groups for fun and learning, in partnership with Christ Episcopal Church and First Congregational UCC.
