The Rock Slinger and His Greatest Hit is a retelling of the story of David and Goliath. The composer, Allen Pote and lyricist, Tom Long, describe it as: "Three thousand years ago, a shepherd boy faced an overwhelming enemy on a battlefield, armed only with a sling and a courageous faith in God. The message is still fresh: Though we may tremble in our weakness, there is no darkness that God cannot overcome."
The musical has humor, fun songs and a powerful message! PSALM Kids cast includes 24 3rd through 5th graders and are joined by some of our K through 2nd graders on the first and last songs. In addition, we will have a special guest as the Israelites' enemy, Goliath. We can't wait to share this story with our congregation!
Our Children's Ministry is unique. Open to children ages infancy through 5th grade, this is more than childcare. We believe that children are spiritual beings, created by God to experience God's love in deep relationship with Him. Even the youngest children can and do experience God. The God Centered Model for Spiritual Transformation is a unique model we use with our children. It gives each child the opportunity to encounter God's Living Word, the Bible, and then allows space for that experience to bring them into the very presence and heart of God.
Through activities such as Sacred Circle Time, Holy Listening and Blessing, our children are not only taught Truths from the Bible, these Truths are brought to life in their hearts. They are given space to process the story through play. They are taught to meditate on God's Word and listen for how God is speaking to them. Our trained Holy Listeners give each child a chance to be heard as they share what God is putting on their heart.
Kindergarten through 2nd grade:
During the 9 and 11:15 am worship services, Kindergarten - 2nd grade will begin in worship with their families and be called to leave for Children's Worship in the middle of the service.
During Faith Formation, children will have the opportunity to engage with Scripture through play, art, nature, missions, open discussion, and various spiritual practices. We seek to emphasize the importance of creating safe, sacred spaces for all people, where each individual is heard, seen, and recognized, and, regardless of age, feels comfortable asking difficult questions, sharing their gifts, and asking for help.
Your kids are invited to join Leanne on Sundays online for a story, prayer and time to play and connect!
