They also seek to help the children's families with such needs as food, clothing, medicine, housing, etc. The Adult Sunday School classes provide a hot meal for the monthly programs. Church members sponsor one of these children for our Christmas in August, providing school supplies and one new outfit for school. In addition, they have a regular Christmas party in December with presents and stockings for the children. Transportation provided as needed.
Circles provide food, entertaining programs and sometimes a favor for each person attending.
Under the guidance of qualified teachers, the school provides an educational program, which considers developmental needs of children and emphasizes growth in all areas - physical, emotional, mental and spiritual. These are inter-related with weekly themes, music, field trips, and projects. Five-yearolds must attend 5 days per week, per South Carolina law. They follow the same schedule as School District Five. The purpose of this ministry is to provide loving, Christian care for young children, enrich their social interaction and provide needed personal time for mothers.
