These services will be geared toward children but we hope people of all generations will come and worship together.  CURRICULUM: Sunday School Program Young Children and Worship is the new Sunday School program being adopted by St. John’s Kids’ Club. Children and Worship is cross-cultural and is being experienced in a variety of Christian denominations in North America, England, Hungary, Romania, Ukraine, South Korea, and South Africa. The program works well for a Sunday School with children of various ages and abilities. Children and Worship presents biblical stories and parables using wooden figures to illustrate. The approach is of a sensorimotor style. Children experience rather than just learn about God and worship. The program is based on the four-fold order of worship, uses the liturgical year, and uses “signing” which teaches children that all people of varying abilities are welcome. At the beginning of each children’s worship session, we assemble and meet together in our special “place”. We greet each other (with word and sign) – The Lord be with you; and also with you. A “Child of the Day” is chosen. We sing songs and give our offering. We prepare to hear a story of God by singing and signing – Be Still and know that I am God. A story or parable is presented using wooden figures and then there is a time to wonder and then respond with art and craft. We close by singing and signing a benediction – Go now in peace, may the love of God surround you everywhere you go.
