(3rd-5th Below)
watch 2018 – 2019 Child/Youth/Student Online Registration
Our Kindergarten – 2nd grade church school ministry uses the Young Children and Worship model which is based upon the tenet of “Godly play.” This approach, which integrates religious education and worship provides an exciting format where children experience God while learning about God, using a sensorimotor style of storytelling as the primary means for encountering God in biblical stories. This model provides freedom and sacred time for children to continue responding to God by working with story figures, art materials, music and kinesthetic expression. Church school is available during the 10:30 am service mid-September-May and at the single summer service at 9:30 am May-mid-September. Children begin in worship in the sanctuary and leave during Passing of the Peace to meet with leaders in the Narthex (back of the church).

3RD-5TH GRADE SUNDAY CHURCH SCHOOL
2018 – 2019 Child/Youth/Student Online Registration
Lighting the Way This program utilizes the Rotation Model format that teaches major Bible stories and concepts through a combined-grade gathering time and these engaging multimedia workshops: art, drama, games, computers, film, cooking and Bible exploration. This format takes advantage of our students’ God-given thirst for multi-modal learning, recognizing that there are many different learning styles, including auditory, visual, kinesthetic, intrapersonal and interpersonal. Church school is available during the 10:30 am service mid-September-May and at the single summer service at 9:30 am May-mid-September. Children begin in worship in the sanctuary and leave during Passing of the Peace to meet with leaders in the Narthex (back of the church).
For additional information on the Rotation Model, please visit: ROTATION MODEL: WHAT IS IT AND WHY WE USE IT

YOUTH FELLOWSHIP
345 Fellowship is designed for older elementary students (3rd, 4th and 5th grades) and meets bi-monthly. Throughout the year, we play engaging games and explore our faith using exciting group activities. Our hope is to grow together into a caring community in a fun, comfortable and energetic setting. We intentionally incorporate spiritual practices that deepen our time together and share our “Faithful Acts,” which are ways that students and leaders actively live out our faith. Examples of Faithful Acts include: never has a friend at lunch, caring for a sick animal and standing up to a bully. We want your youth to be part of 345!
All 3rd – 5th grade friends are welcome; it is not necessary for a child to attend FCCGE or be part of a family that worships here. We welcome everyone at anytime. For more information, contact Rev. Kendra Joyner Miller, (630.469.3096 X 11) Associate Minister Click here to see the 345 Fellowship Schedule 2018- 2019
