Opportunities for Children
Children are important at First Presbyterian. It is our
goal to help children feel at home and accepted in church and to help them mature into
responsible Christian disciples.

Sunday Morning Worship
A Nursery is available on the second floor of the
education building for children 0-2 years old during the worship service.
The Nursery is staffed by a paid Nursery Worker assisted by volunteers from
the church. We strive to
include the other children in some aspect of the worship service each week:
Children's Messages are presented by
the pastor or lay person on most Sundays. The children are invited to come to the front of
the church at that time.
On the fourth Sunday, the children are invited to assist
in taking up the 5 Cents-A-Meal Offering, our monthly hunger offering.
After the Children's Message, the children in third grade
and under are invited to adjourn to a Children's Church,
where they have the opportunity to learn about worship and practice worship
on their own level. They will be escorted to the third floor by the
Children's Church leaders. Parents are asked to pick their children on third
floor at the end of the Worship Service.
Children in fourth grade and up are invited to be
Acolytes.
Periodically between September and May the
Kidz Khoir sings during the worship service.

This exciting midweek ministry for children, age 3 through 5th Grade, meets on Wednesdays, from 6:30 to 7:30 p.m.
The Children engage in adventures with God, through Bible Study (with Bible awards), Scripture Memory,
Skits, Skill Awards, Music and Games. Click here

Children's Saturday Outings
Periodically on Saturdays a special outing or outreach
activity is planned for the children. These activities are designed for children between
four years old and fifth grade. Activities in previous years included visiting homebound
members with cookies and valentines, going on a picnic to Dan Nicholas Park, having a Fall
Party out in the country, and visiting The Lazy 5 Ranch. Watch the bulletin or contact the
church office for details.
