KidServe Volunteer Ministry

ArtReach 2008
 


We believe that God has called the Children's Ministry to help cultivate in each child a spiritual hunger for God and an awareness of His presence. This is accomplished by using such tools as skits, songs, Bible stories and crafts, and takes place in a fun and nurturing environment that also helps equip them for future ministry.
 

Calvary Kids (K - 5th Grade)
 
Kids Bible Study These age grouped classes use Hands-On-Bible curriculum to teach biblical truth with fun activities, object lessons, and other participatory means to help kids know and apply God’s Word.
Selected classrooms, Sundays at 9:00 a.m.
 
Kids Church Kids are dismissed to this large group, kid-oriented service following the morning worship time (Reflections and Jubilation) where they meet their Lifeguard and sit together by grade.  Fun songs, skits, short stories, object lessons, games, prayer and ministry time allow kids to experience God’s love in a way that is meaningful to them.  Voluntary Activity Pages and the Bible Memory Program allow kids to earn recognition and rewards for their efforts. 

For safety reasons, we ask that parents escort their Kindergarten kid into Kids Church and pick them up after the morning service.  Kids in 1st-5th grade may go to and from Kids Church unescorted as long as they do so in a responsible way.
CCC Student Center, Sundays at 10:50 a.m.

During the week the kids are busy making, creating and producing various artistic items that are used and displayed during our original musical program. All the kids learn songs for the program during Music Class and create art for display during Art Class. In the workshops, kids prepare for the program in a variety of ways (special dances in the Dance workshop, special songs in the Music workshop, dramatic performances in the Drama workshop, props in the Prop Art workshop, etc.)

The Parent’s Night Program is scheduled for Friday, June 13. Parents, friends and the community are invited to join us at 6:30 p.m. for free hotdogs and refreshments in the field next to the Prayer Garden (on the south side of the church.)
