Ministries With and For Children
Opportunities for children to learn and grow in the faith

At good Shepherd children have many ways to learn and grow in the faith.  "Faith Quest" is a Sunday morning hands-on exploration of the faith.  The cherub and alleluia choirs are ways to learn music and sing the glory of God. Our 9:00 worship service includes a childrens' homily as a way to give age-appropriate meaning to the scripture.  Come and explore...

Faith Quest is our Sunday School ministry for pre-k through 5th graders.  This is a hands-on, active program where through art, cooking, games, story-telling and more our children learn how the stories of the bible art part of their own lives.  Our Themes for 2010 are: The Prodigal Son, Mary and Martha, The Days of Lent, Easter:The Last Supper, Palm Cross Making, and Psalm 23. 

The Nursery is open each Sunday morning from 8:45 a.m. until 12:30 p.m. (9:45 to 11:45 in the summer).   The nursery is staffed by a group of attentive and well-trained women.  Buzzers are available for parents so that they are never that far away. 

The Cherub Choir is for children ages 3 through 1st grade.  This choir learns fundamentals of music and liturgy and sings at the 9:00 A.M. service four to five times per year, at the St. Francis Day service, on Christmas Eve, and at the Mother's Day Dinner Theater.  The choir rehearses on Wednesday afternoon from 4:00 till 4:30 with refreshments following.

The Alleluia Choir is for children in 2nd through 8th grades and 1st graders with excellent reading ability.  This choir sings at the 9:00 AM service every two to three weeks from September through May, at the St. Francis Day service, at Lessons & Carols, on Christmas Eve, and at the Mother's Day Dinner Theater.   The choir rehearses on Wednesday afternoon from 4:30 till 5:30 with refreshments following.

Vacation Bible School is a hands-on week of faith exploration in the context on art, games, music and fun.  Each year Good Shepherd joins with a number of other area congregations to hold one of the most exciting and fulfilling weeks of faith exploration in the city.  VBS is a powerful way to again display the love of God made known to us in the stories of scripture and our children always have a marvelous experience that sticks with them throughout the year and beyond.
