Sunday
School
Just
as we go to school to build an academic foundation for functioning
in the working world, we come to church to develop a Christian
foundation for continued spiritual growth. Sunday School classes
are held for children of all ages from 9:40-10:40 a.m. every
Sunday.
Children's
Mission Projects
The children of VHUMC are invited to participate in service
projects to benefit needy children, and to learn the gift
of giving and being disciples of God's love. In the fall,
BUILD A BEAR workshops are held to make Teddy Bears for the
children of The Children's Hospital. In December, a SOCK TREE,
collects socks for needy children of Birmingham.
Angel
Choir
The Angel Choir, K5 aged children, meets on Wednesday evenings
from 6:00-6:45. Contact Louise Elmore at 978-9981 for more
information.
Little
Lambs Bible Class
On Wednesday evenings during the school year, there is a Bible
class opportunity for K3 & K4 children from 6:00-6:45.
Teachers will teach Old and New& Old Testament favorites,
including an extensive study of the life of our Savior and
Lord Jesus.
Time
for Children
Each
Sunday during the 8:30 a.m. and 11:00 a.m. Sanctuary Worship
Services, we have a "Time for Children" included
in the order of worship. This is a time of worshipping and
sharing for our children and the other members of the church
family; a time to help our children feel a belonging related
to worship in the sanctuary; and a time to reinforce family
time, related to both their own as well as their larger church
family.
Worship
Care
Worship Care is provided for children, ages K3 to K5, during
the 11:00 a.m. worship hour. The children can participate
in a Music/Movement class and can be picked up on the Preschool
floor after the worship service. Parents of children ages
K3 to K5 are asked to serve one Sunday per year from 10:45
a.m. to 12:00 noon. This provides an opportunity for parents
and children to worship and share together.
Nursery
Service / Child Care
Nursery Service seeks to provide quality child care for parents
attending church activities. Nursery service is for children
birth to K5. We offer a Sunday morning nursery from 8:15 to
12:00 and a Wednesday evening nursery from 5:30 to 8:30. In
addition, nursery service is available for your meetings-contact
Lynne Beckham, Assistant Director of Nursery Ministries, one
week prior to the event.
Vacation
Bible School
VBS is held each summer and involves a large group of children,
youth and adults. These fun and spirit-filled days are designed
for children from our congregation and the surrounding community
who are 3 years through 5th grade. Activities and child care
are provided for the younger children of our workers. VBS
is the highlight of the summer for many children and an excellent
way for teens and adults to share God's love and have fun
with the children of our church.
