Sunday School PreK-6th grade
At Howland UMC, we use a rotation style curriculum for our children’s Sunday school education. We utilize hands-on, engaging lessons to reach diverse learners. Foundational stories of the Bible are taught in our 5 year lesson rotation.
There are classes for
- Pre-Kindergarten,
- Grades Kindergarten-Grade 1
- Grades 2-3,
- Grades 4-6
Each week, children visit one of four stations: Rainbow Room (crafts), Harmony Harbor (music), Whale of a Tale (drama) and Fishes and Loaves (cooking) – in which they experience the Bible story in exciting ways.
All children are in the Sanctuary for opening greetings and songs, then they are called forward for a children’s message by the pastor. Afterwards, children are dismissed to fellowship hall around 9:45am for a brief joint worship time with Miss Janel. Classes are then held from 10:00-11:00. This allows parents time for coffee/fellowship before picking up children.
Other Children’s Ministries include:
- Family Nights (Bowling, movies, field trips, etc.)
- Easter Party
- Vacation Bible School
- 3rd Grade Bibles
- Children’s Musical
- Trunk or Treat
