Children and Youth Ministry
programs and Schedule
Currently our Sunday School and Nursery are about 2-3 Sundays each month for our elementary kids and preschool/infants. And our Youth Group is meeting after service on the first Sunday of each month. As we head into the holiday season, our schedule becomes more subjective, so please reach out to learn what we have planned.
New families can fill out a registration form HERE or in person on Sunday.
Here is the current calendar for our remaining Sunday School Sundays of 2024:
October 20th and 27th.
November 10, 17th, and 24th
December 1st, and 8th.
Join us for Pageant Sunday on December 15th!
We are continuously working on our Sunday School and Youth Group programs. If you have questions, feedback, or want to be informed of future updates, email our Program Coordinator Erin Barber.
2024 Events
After a festive Advent season and the success of our Christmas Pageant Video, we’re excited for what we have in store for 2024!
On Sunday, October 27th, our Sunday school is having a festive Fall Party! Come dressed in Halloween costumes and enjoy some games, treats, and crafts!
After our fall party our elementary and youth group will get to participate in our annual Pumpkin Pancake Fundraiser, where we help serve pancakes to raise money for youth activities.
Our next Youth Group gathering is Sunday, November 3rd, where we will be looking into a potential Youth Outing.
November you can find us before and after service selling Christmas wreaths for another one of our youth fundraisers.
This month we will also be preparing for our Christmas Pageant. We’re continuing our tradition or filming our pageant so that each kid has a chance to shine without the concern of stage fright, and contribute to our much loved “blooper reel.”
Pageant Sunday is December 15th, a special service where our kids and youth show our nativity video and other interactive elements are enjoyed in worship to help us get into the holiday spirit.
We’re planning more fun this season, from cookie potlucks to game nights, so tune back in to learn more as our plans take shape!
Why have multigenerational services?
It’s simple—a church is much more than a building—it is a community of people of all ages, who are called together to encounter and respond to God’s love as revealed in Jesus the Christ. Worship enfolds us in God’s love, and what better way to create a sense of belonging than by worshiping together. At Bethel, creating multigenerational opportunities for worship and play is a strategic decision to strengthen our community and provide a welcoming place of acceptance for everyone, regardless of age. As our UCC motto says, “No matter who you are or where you are on life’s journey—You Are Welcome Here!”
