Christian Education

Child care is provided throughout Sunday morning.  Special activities are planned for toddlers and preschoolers.

 

During the school year, Sunday school classes are available for children ages 3-senior high from 10:00 -11:00 A.M.

Adult group: led by Betty DeWolf and Linda Aldrich in the Parlor
“Discoverer’s” adult class in the Conference Room

Sunday school classes meet together monthly to participate in singing and special programs.  Classes participate in service projects throughout the year.

 

Each summer, a week long program is offered where children, ages 3-years through fifth grade, learn bible stories through songs, dance, crafts, games, and drama. Sixth graders-high school serve as assistants. This year it will be held in the evenings from 6:00 - 8:30 P.M., Sunday, June 20^th, through Thursday, June 24^th. The theme will be “High Seas Expedition.”

 

FROG week is right around the corner – Monday, August 23^rd – Friday, August 27^th   from 9 A.M. until 4 P.M.  Lee Mein and Beth Little will be leading the group of middle schoolers in local mission projects and fun activities.  We’re still planning the details, but spread the word to any entering 6^th through 8^th graders.  We ask for a donation of $50 per child to cover costs of lunch and fun activities.  We may need additional drivers, so please let me know if you’d be able to help out.  Email Beth Little at education@dixborochurch.org for more information or to register.

 

Annually, the Sunday school classes present a Christmas program, a worship service, and family events.

 

Children in fifth grade and above are offered the opportunity to participate in the worship services as acolytes, ushers, and greeters.

 

Seventh and eighth graders are given the opportunity to explore their faith through discussion, activities, and service projects while considering church membership (usually offered bi-annually.)

 

Adult classes are offered throughout the regular school year from 10:15-10:45 A.M. Topics and class length vary. Details are provided in the weekly bulletins.

 

Middle and High School students meet on Wednesday evenings during the regular school year from 7:00-8:30 P.M. Activities are scheduled that focus on group building, exploring our faith, serving others, and having fun! Youth participate in several service projects throught the year. Each summer, youth and adults travel to Tennessee to participate in the Tennessee Outreach Program (Mountain T.O.P.), a mission project that serves the Appalachian people.

Kids and adults alike had an amazing experience putting our faith into action.  For those not familiar with the trip, it’s a week-long mission to the mountains of Tennessee where high school students and adults venture out to do home repair, painting, building, cleaning and, most importantly, ministry for families in need.  The theme this year was “hope”, so we come back with this challenge: Let people know you have hope and be ready to tell them why!  Special thanks go out to the Coffeys for the use of their vans, the Johns for the use of their trailer and Sandy Warren for her help with the tools.

 

An exciting assortment of books, tapes and videos are available in the library.
