Infants generally begin attending at 12 weeks of age, or when the parent and/or physician feel it is appropriate for the infant to be left. No reservation is needed. Children are placed in classes according to their age and development; therefore, nursery children may experience class adjustments as they develop throughout the year. Parents will be notified when a class change is necessary. Children who turned two years old after September 1 will remain in the nursery until the next program year. If you would like your child to be included on the Sunday School Roster, please complete a registration form here or at the Ark Adventures Welcome Desk (all are invited). 8:30 AM WORSHIP HOUR 9:45 AND 11:15 AM WORSHIP HOURS PRESCHOOL WORSHIP HOUR 9:45 AND 11:15 AM PRESCHOOL Ark Adventures is our Sunday morning program for preschoolers, children who are 2 years old prior to September 1, through pre-Kindergarten. All preschool classes use a faith-based curriculum that focuses on building the character of God into the lives of our children. Our program is designed to accommodate children who attend Sunday School for multiple hours while their parents worship one hour and serve or attend a class during another. Our Biblical lesson provides the foundation for the entire morning, but different activities and formats are utilized during each hour. Your preschooler is invited to join us every Sunday as we walk through the Bible and discover the love of Jesus Christ! During the 9:45 hour the children enjoy learning and participating in an interactive Bible story, including prayer and praising God. Followed with an age appropriate activity that complements the lesson and then they have a snack together. At the 11:15 hour the children attend Preschool Praise Time as they gather together and experience the community of Christ. Through singing songs, a Bible Story, puppets, collecting offering, and play time, we are reminded that Jesus is the light of the world. This hour offers a second opportunity of enrichment in a new and exciting way. Click here to register for the Sunday School Roster.
