Coming Up

Children's Christmas Program: We are thrilled to present the 2014 Children's Christmas Program, The Last Noel, as this Sunday's Message during the 9:00 and 11:15 Worship Services. Under the direction of Kathy Carson and Kay Cook, Broadway's children will tell this version of the Christmas Story through a musical performance.  Families with small children, please arrive early and sit close to the front, in order to get a good view of the play.  Our young actors will be needing usage of the floor space, so the children in the audience will not be able to sit on the floor and watch during the program.  We hope you will join us!
 
Ornaments of Christmas Eve Past: Each year, particular ornaments are selected to represent the story that is read to the children during the 5:30 Christmas Eve Service.  These ornaments are then distributed to the children at the conclusion of this service. Over the years, we have accumulated excess ornaments. These ornaments are hanging on the Christmas trees in the elevator area of the CLC.  If your child does not have an ornament for a particular story, please feel free to take one for your tree at home.
 
Christmas Eve:   Children ages 2nd-5th Grade are invited to participate in a sign language presentation of Silent Night on Christmas Eve.  Rachel Howard is directing this special offering for the 5:30 Service.  Practice will take place from 10:55-11:10 on Sunday Mornings.  If your child is interested, please contact Rachel Howard at [email protected].

11th Commandments: After studying the Ten Commandments all summer, the Pathway's Kids had the opportunity to come up with their own commandment- an 11th Commandment. Each Sunday, one of these is featured in the Worship Bulletin. We hope you enjoy these sweet thoughts from the mouths of Broadway's babes. 

 

Family Gymnasium Fun: Broadway's Kids love hanging out in the CLC! However, the opportunity to get in some great kickball or basketball games is very limited on Sunday mornings.  Because of this, we are considering offering Family Gym-Time on Saturday mornings or Sunday afternoons for the winter months, starting in January.  If your family is interested in participating, and you would interested in helping out supervising the fun, please contact Barb at [email protected].
  
Parents of Third Graders: Please mark your calendars for the Third Grade Bible Workshop and Third Grade Bible Presentation to be held on January 24th and 25th, respectively. More information will be mailed to you in mid December.   
Worshipping God Through Music and Dance
 
Music Opportunities

Children in Kindergarten-second grade are invited to join the Kids Choir on Sunday mornings from 10:00-10:25 a.m. in the Heavenly Music room on the upper level of the CLC. Children will be released in time to attend their full Pathways class.  All children participating will be escorted from choir to their classes, upon completion of practice.
 
Alleluia Singers
Children in third through fifth grades may participate in the Alleluia Singers. The Alleluia Singers rehearse at 4:00pm on Sunday afternoons in the Music Center. 

We are pleased to offer these opportunities for your children as they increase their musical understanding through singing, listening, instruments, tonal and rhythm patterns... all this while having fun! We will also be sharing our gifts of song periodically in the worship services.

What are your Children Learning?
Our Current Pathways Unit at a Glance

Our elementary aged kids rotate between classes offering hands on learning experiences in Art, Cooking, Drama, Storytelling, Games and Movies.

Our December Unit is In the Manger. The children are learning about Jesus' humble beginnings as told in the Book of Luke.  Since Jesus was born among hay and animals, we are also looking at some of the important roles that the Christmas Story animals might have had during that time. 

One of the most important experiences the children have during each unit, is participating in an outreach project.  During this unit, we will purchasing and wrapping Christmas gifts for our guests who will be staying with us when Broadway hosts Room at the Inn,  December 11th-January 10th.

All God's Children

All God's Children is an adaptive Sunday School Program for children with disabilities. Children up to age 12 are invited to join us for a modified version of the hands-on Pathways Program during the 11:15 am service. Please meet in the Music room on the second floor of the CLC.

AGC seeks to accompany all children with different abilities focusing on meeting their needs and supporting the family incorporating them into the life of the church with appropriate levels of support.
