This
curriculum consists of Bible stories, Bible memory verses, crafts and
games. Each Bible story is tied to a theme from a Jewish celebration
signifying a blessing from God in the Old Testament. This helps the
children to understand the metaphorical connection between Old
Testament themes and principles from the new testament. All the games
the children play are designed to help the children to store the word
of God in their hearts. This becomes very empowering to the children
because the children walk away from each Sunday School lesson with a
heart imprinted with the word of God, which they can remember any time
through the week. Each Kids Time craft allows the children to express
creatively the lessons that they learn each Sunday. This is a very
relaxing and enjoyable activity for the children. Three different Kids Time classes are offered for the different age groups---3 yrs –K, 1st-4th grade and 5th-6th grade.
Kidz Zone on Sunday mornings @ 10:30
Kidz
Zone offers a fun, high energy, multi media curriculum using five
adorable puppets, (whom the children in our church have named Betsey,
Cody, Sydney, Mickey and Chester) music, drama, crafts and games. This
is for children between 3 years through 4th grade. 5th and 6th
graders are also welcome. Each Sunday a new theme or Biblical principle
is presented. (Eg. Serve, Salvation, Confidence etc.) Each lesson is
presented through several segments such as Bible verse zone, Bible book
Zone, Teaching, zone, Singing zone, Puppet zone, Drama zone and Game
zone etc. Within the zone format we also have children’s church
complete with offering, worship and communion. The learning process. we
use is interactive by encouraging the children to participate in all
the activities.. Empirical studies have shown that this method is very
conducive to learning. Since the format is multi--media it suits a
variety of learning styles as children use all of their senses to
participate in the learning journey.
