For children and up to 5th grade we have 15 minute centers for games, puzzles, devotions, skits, or crafts depending on the week. We have had success using individual curriculum books such as clothesline skits and a devotion book. If you wander into Staves Church on Wednesday afternoon, you may be greeted by 15-20 excitable bundles of energy. We serve children K through 5th grade - some who live in the neighborhood and some from member families. We begin each session with games, followed by snacks, a story illustrating Christian values, crafts, and music.
New members are always welcome.
The high school students have the option of participating in the adult bell choir or chancel choir. This group of 3rd, 4th, 5th graders divide their time between eating, musical fun, service projects, and other group activities. The 6th graders meet on Thursday after school for a variety of service, music, and social activities. It is an exciting and fun evening for all ages.
