- NOVEMBER 30 - All Invited!  Amity’s
Advent Festival, sponsored
by our Sunday School children, will be next Sunday, November 30, immediately
following the 11:00 a.m. worship service. This is a great event for folks of all
ages – you don’t have to be with a child or bring a child to attend!
Children are the heart of the Amity Family and play an important part in each and every worship service. Our
program is growing so much we need more nursery volunteers! Sunday School for All Ages is held every Sunday morning at 9:45 a.m. Sunday School for children (age 5 - grade 5) is held in Room 4, led by our Children's Minister following the "Way of the Child" curriculum. Nursery care is provided for ages four and under. During the 11:00 a.m. Worship Service, the children are invited to continue Sunday School by sitting with their class near the front of the church, assembling on the Chancel steps for a special lesson, then returning to their classroom for more lessons, fellowship, and fun. From time to time the children will sing for the 11:00 a.m. worship service. Return to top Children's Time & Children's Church As
the 11:00 a.m. worship service begins, children who attended Sunday School
generally sit together on the front row with their teachers and welcome any
child in the congregation to join them. During Children’s
Time, all children in the congregation are invited to gather on the Chancel
steps for a special lesson. Following Children’s
Time, children five and older may attend Children’s
Church or remain with their families. Every child is welcome to participate
in Sunday School
and/or Children’s
Time/Church as they feel comfortable. Our nursery (Room 6) offers loving care for infants through age four on Sunday mornings, 9:30 am - 12:15 pm. Children age five and older are invited to join in Sunday School and Children's Time/Children's Church. Child care is also available as announced during special services and events. Please ask if you need directions. Return to top Each Sunday, an acolyte helps prepare the Sanctuary for worship by lighting the candles. Following the service, they extinguish the light to signify the going forth into the world.
If
you would like to be an acolyte, please plan to attend a
training session on Sunday, Sept. 27. ALL
current acolytes need to attend one of these sessions. All girls and boys
ages 8 to 12 who are at least 48 inches tall are welcome. Instead of holding Vacation Bible School in 2009, Amity will have some special events for children and families to have fun together this summer. Click here for a partial descriptive list of other churches' programs. Vacation Bible School 2008 - A Success & A Blessing Children's Nativity Puppet Show - December 14, 2008 The annual Easter Egg Hunt is always a hit. Children are invited to participate in other events, such as singing in the Holy Week revival, 3 Nights 4 God. Return to top "Way of the Child" Curriculum" Amity is currently using the "Way of the Child" Sunday School curriculum. It places more focus on formation of the child than informing the child. In addition to being Biblically based, it also teaches traditional spiritual disciplines. The children learn the disciplines of quiet, listening for God's presence, prayer, etc. Time is also set aside for fun and fellowship.
