Our
Church provides a number of activities for children of all ages.
Visit soon to discover how these activities shape and enhance the experience
of both the youth -- and our entire congregation.
Throughout
the year, our talented children perform an array of musical feats for our
congregation!
Youth
Fellowship Groups - Children from grades 3-8 are welcome to join our
two Youth Fellowship Groups which meet twice a month throughout the year,
excluding the summer. The Groups participate in a number of activities,
including community outreach, fellowship, games and refreshments.
Senior
High Youth Group - The Senior High Youth Group is for teenagers in
high school. They generally meet every other week on Sunday evening to
watch a movie, play games or plan upcoming youth events. Recently the Youth
Group cooked meals for the homeless and participated in the World
Vision's 30 Hour Famine.
Vacation
Church School - Our School is open to children of the congregation
and community up to the 2nd grade. From 9:30 a.m. to noon, the children
participate in song, crafts, bible stories, and fellowship. The school
runs the week of July 15-19. Call our Church at 908-232-9490 for
more details.
Sunday
School - Children attend Sunday Worship for 20 minutes with their parents
and then join our Pastor in a short Children's Chat. From there,
the children go to their respective Sunday School classrooms. We
have several classes, including our Confirmation Class for students who
will be confirmed in the coming year.
Our Confirmation
Class students are very active in our Church and participate in several
ways:
Sunday
School Teachers - Our confirmed students teach and/or assist the primary
Sunday School Teachers most Sundays. The younger set enjoy interacting
with the confirmed students as many have been with the congregation for
years.
Nursery
Room
- Students oversee the care of the infants in the Nursery so parents can
attend and focus on Sunday Worship.
Ushers
- Collectively with other students, or with the Church Elders, our students
participate in the Worship Offering and distribution of Church bulletins.
Vacation
Church School - Students assist both the superintendent and music director
during the week in addition to working closely with the young children.
Youth
Retreats - Our youth are active in attending several retreats throughout
the year in the New Jersey area. It's a fun time for our youth to create
memories with other members of not only our own church, but with those
from surrounding congregations.
Choir
& Hand Bells - Visit our Musical
Notes page for information on our childrens' choirs and hand bells.
What a wonderful way to join others who love to sing and make beautiful
music!
Holiday
Concerts - During the holidays, the various Choirs and children perform
concerts which relay the spirit of the season. From solos to instrumental
duets, you're sure to hear not only your favorite holiday songs, but new
ones that will add to your holiday joy.
Annual
Summer Musical - One of our most popular events is our annual Summer
Musical. Open to children of the Church and community, each musical
is always a hit! Past performances include: The Rock Slinger &
His Greatest Hit,
Oh Jonah, Rescue in the Night, It's Cool
in the Furnace, Paul & Co., Freedom Fanatics, and others.
