The fifth and sixth grade class are quick to make
a point to cowboy Brock, even though they are blindfolded. |
Rusty Spurs and Dusty Twales presented a comical skit each night to
introduce the question of the day.
Some of the questions were:
Who Am I?
What Is God's Plan for Me?
Does God Care about Me? |

The offering challenge for VBS was boy vs. girls.
If girls gave the most offering, Rusty Spurs would
get a cowpie in the face. If the boys gave the most
offering, Pastor Marisa would get a cowpie in the face.
The boys won, but before it was over cowpies were
flying, and Rusty Spurs and Dusty Twales both ended
up with cowpies in the face. The children and their parents
both roared with laughter. A total of
$331.80 was raised for the Fulton County
Humane Society. |
The First Christmas
Children's Christmas Program
2009
Caesar Augustus made a
decree that the world would be taxed and a
census would be taken. |
 |
 |
Mary and Joseph traveled to Bethlehem. |
|
They finally found a place to stay, but it was in a stable. |
 |
 |
Angels came to joyfully announce the birth of the Christ Child in
Bethlehem. At least most of them were joyful. |
|
The shepherds heard the good news and traveled to Bethlehem. |
 |
 |
The wise men followed the star to the baby. They also found
the sheep the shepherds lost on the way to see the Christ Child. |
|
Everyone gathered around to worship the Christ Child and sing
praises. |
 |
 |
Whoa! The people just keep coming in!
Nobody told me about this part! |

A few year ago we changed our Sunday School to a Workshop Rotation
style. For five Sundays the children are taught the same
lesson in five different ways. This creates interest for the
children and helps them remember the Bible stories. |
 |
 |
God's Tree House
This is the story telling room. It is designed to look like
Grandma's back yard. It has a tree house in it, a yard swing,
a fountain and a picnic table. Each Sunday someone comes in
and tells a Bible story to the children. |
Show of Faith
These girls are enjoying the theatre and drama classroom. It
is equipped with real theatre seats, a stage, costumes, a large TV
and a DVD/video player. During videos the children are treated
to popcorn. |
 |
 |
Soul Food & Discovery
Cooking and science are taught in the kitchen and
fellowship hall. |
Thou Art
This is the art room. Each week children are taught their
lesson and then it is enriched by using different artistic mediums. |
 |
 |
Church Mouse
This is the computer room. CDs are used to teach
the lesson to
the children. The stories are presented
in an interesting
manner, then reinforced with
computer games, music, or even computer
artwork. |
Nursery & Preschool
This is the nursery and preschool classroom. While not officially a part of the
Workshop Rotation, the little children do join the older ones
for the opening Sunday School service each Sunday. Our nursery
has recently been renovated. It was painted, carpeted, and has
all new equipment in it. |
