Sunday School
Our children’s Sunday School hour is an opportunity for your children to hear and learn the stories of our faith. While learning the stories our children are also building relationships with their age-group peers and loving adults. Our elementary and preschool classes use the Deep Blue Curriculum by Cokesbury.
Sunday School begins at 9:20 and concludes at 10:20 so that families may worship together at the service of their choice. Our elementary children (K-5) start together in room 202 at 9:20. Our Opening Time Together includes music, the Bible story for the day and learning about our mission offering for the month. At approximately 9:35/9:40 the children move to their classrooms for the remainder of the SS hour.
Preschool 3’s, 4’s and 5’s meet in Room 103
Kindergarten and 1st Graders in Room 205
2nd and 3rd Graders in Room 203
4th and 5th Graders in Room 202
Nursery Care
Our very youngest children begin to know that the church is a safe and loving – and fun! – place in our nursery. Our nursery staff and volunteers are trained and screened. Children up to age 5 may stay in the nursery during the worship services. The nursery is in Room 107.
Children’s Choirs
Highland’s Children’s Choirs are for all children ages 3 through 5th grade who enjoy singing, playing musical games and rhythm instruments, fellowship with others their age, and providing a music ministry to others both inside and outside the church. Children do not need to be a member of the church to participate. All rehearsals are on Wednesdays from September until May. Contact our children’s choir director, Jo Anne Swartz for more information.
