  NEW FALL SEMESTER-

NEW HAPPENINGS
Jr. Puppets are now on Sunday-Jr. and Sr. puppet troupes will meet on Sundays from 5-6:30pm.  Same great format, same great events...different day!
4th Grade-High School-More info to follow...

Midweek 4-6th Grade-Now that Jr. puppets are moving to Sunday, we will begin a new Midweek class for our 4th-6th grader called "Preteen Grapple".  Somewhere between leaving childhood and treading wide-eyed into the teenage years lurks a thousand bewildering questions..."why am I not perfect"?  "Why doesn't everyone go to heaven?"  With Grapple, kids will learn how to search the Bible for answers and build a faith foundation that guides wise choices! 
Games, activities and a small group atmosphere. 
Wednesdays from 6:30-7:45pm starting September 7th.
FALL SCHEDULE

FamilyFest/Fall Semester Begins August 28th

 Exciting 3RD SERVICE EXPERIENCE
We have implemented an "invasion-like" program for our 3rd-6th graders during 3rd service.   This class prepares them for the transition from elementary to our youth programs.  Kids are dismissed from service, and will share fellowship including music, group games and snacks at the beginning of class.  Our youth director, Travis Wentworth, leads them in a message before ending with music videos and a renewed vision of prayer. This is an exciting addition and one more opportunity for our kids to grow in their faith.

NEW TO AUMC?
We have several classes and events during the year.  Sunday school class runs 2+ through 6th grade during 2nd service.  Children's church runs during 3rd service for Prek-3rd grade.  Midweek is held on Wednesdays (Sept-Apr) from 6:30pm-7:45pm for Prek through 3rd grade.  Jr. Puppets is also held during this time for 4th-6th graders.  We also have movie and family nights periodically, familyfest, VBS and more!
Please make sure to fill out a registration form for your child if you have not done so before.
Our goal as a children's program is to implement God into the DAILY lives of our children.  
We do that through our amazing volunteers.   Please contact Brandon Lindsey at 
if you'd like to find out more info on volunteering.
