# Children’s Worship
> #### **“Make a joyful noise to the Lord, all the earth”** **(Psalm 100:1)**
**Sunday morning is a time of worship for all ages as we join together in prayer, confession, and lifting praise to our Savior.  With that purpose in mind, we offer several opportunities for children.**
**Children are invited to join the worship service and enjoy this time with their family**. Allowing our little ones to sit beside parents–watching, observing, and entering into these moments–are important steps in their own personal life of faith.
**Families may also choose to have their children ages 4-1st grade attend Children’s Worship.**  The purpose of Children’s Worship is to model the format of the corporate worship service, helping small ones to make the transition from nursery into the service.
Children’s Worship is offered during the 10:30AM worship service. Children who participate in Children’s Worship first worship with their parents for the first half of the service, and just before Worship in Giving they are dismissed to line up in the lobby with the teachers and helpers.  Children’s Worship is held  downstairs in the Youth Room (Room 118/120) where we follow an order of worship similar to the adults’ worship:
* Opening Prayer
* Bible Lesson
* Memory Verse
* Prayer Time (for children’s own praises or requests)
* Songs/Hymns
* Interaction with the story through coloring or craft
The children remain in Children’s Worship until the end of the service when parents then come to Room 118/120 to pick them up.
We use the “The Biggest Story” curriculum which is an overview of the Bible from Genesis to Revelation.  Each story highlights the Gospel Connection and the way the story of Jesus is woven into every part of the Bible.  To learn more about the curriculum or to view the Bible videos that accompany the lessons, click here for more information:  <

## **You are invited to join us!**
Our desire is to offer an interactive time for children to study God’s Word together, ask questions, sing songs, and grow in the spiritual disciplines that lead to a lifetime of walking with Jesus.  It is a time for children to grow in their friendships and community with each other as they pray for one another and the world around them.
## **Curriculum:**
Using the Great Commission Curriculum, our students are taking a journey through the Word of God.  Our preschool looked at what it means to live in God’s family and learning about the love of God.  The kindergarten through second grade studied how to obey God and serve Him.  The third through fifth grade are in the middle of an overview of the Bible.  They covered the Gospels in the fall and Acts and Romans in the spring.
## **Meeting Times:**
Classes for grades Preschool (age 2) through 5th grade meet from 9:30-10:15 AM.  No nursery is offered during the Sunday school hour.
## **Class Location:**
Classes for children and youth meet on the lower level of the Ministry Center.  We meet as a group for singing in Room 117 at 9:30 AM.
Preschool (ages 2-5) moves to Room 115 for lesson time.
Kindergarten through Second Grade stays in Room 117 for lesson time.
Third through Fifth Grade moves to room 119 for lesson time.
## **Safety:**
Part of our mission is to provide a safe and secure place for your children to learn about God.
-When families arrive, we ask that they check in at the kiosk with Church Center program.  They will receive a name tag sticker that the child should wear along with a security tag that the parent should keep to show to teachers when they return at the end of class time .
-All teachers and aides have gone through background checks and training before helping in the classroom.

# Pioneer Girls
!
Pioneer Girls is a discipleship ministry where girls learn that God’s word is the light that guides us in our walk with Jesus. Our theme verse is Psalm 119:105, “Thy word is a lamp unto my feet and a light unto my path.” Our desire is to challenge the girls of our church and community to grow in their faith and serve their Heavenly Father in the Body of Christ.
Pioneer Girls helps our girls apply Bible stories and principles to their everyday lives (“I love to collect rocks, but what does that have to do with Jesus?”). Girls in grades 6-8 are busy with crafts and games, Bible lessons, and Scripture memory. By completing specific requirements the girls earn badges or pins, much like a Christian version of Girl Scouts.
#### **Welcome to the 2024-25 Ministry Year**
This ministry year may look a little different than other years. Girls in grades 6-8 will have regular weekly meetings on Wednesday nights from 7:00-8:30 PM.
We are excited to offer 4 special events for girls in grades 1-8. The purpose of these events is to provide community for the girls in our church, to offer them opportunities to serve, to see the joy that comes from knowing Jesus, and discovering the possibilities God has for them as they grow as young women in the church.
October 2: Campfire at CPC (7:00-8:30)
December 11: Christmas Party at CPC (7:00-8:30)
February 12: Valentines Event (7:00-8:30)
April 2: Mother and Daughter Tea (7:00-8:30)
We have a lot of fun in Pioneer Girls, so this has become a great outreach ministry for the girls. Friends from school or the neighborhood who may not have ever heard about God learn what it means to follow Jesus Christ.
Because there is no lack of enthusiasm from the girls, and seeing them apply Christ to their daily lives is such a wonderful joy to us, we pray that God would continue to equip this ministry of discipleship with mentors and leaders who have fresh vision, and hearts for the girls both in and beyond CPC’s front door. Please pray for the leadership of this ministry and for each of the young women who are participating in it. Thank you!
