Event Description:
If you enjoy working with young children, we'd love to have you assist our Sunday School teachers during our worship service each Sunday. When you get to the church, you'll head to the sanctuary to sit with our elementary school-aged kids, who sit in the main service for the song portion of the service. After songs are over, kids in PreK-5th grade will head down to the kids' wing for Children's church during the remainder of the service. All ages will remain together during this time. The teacher will lead the kids in a few songs, then you'll be responsible for getting snacks and drinks set up at the table. After kids songs, the students will have their snack. When snack is done, you can help by cleaning up the table/garbage left while the teacher for that day leads the class in whatever activity is planned (craft, game, movie, etc.). At 11:10, you'll help take kids to the bathrooms for bathroom breaks and then we'll transition to After Half (split Prek-1st grade and 2nd-5th grade). During After Half, you can assist the teachers with whatever they need, take kids to the bathroom as needed, etc. After Half lasts for 30 minutes after the end of the regular worship service. Please note that while you are with the kids, we ask that you refrain from using your cell phone and that you engage with the kids and the activities. You're a super star to the kids and they're learning from your example!
Special Notes:
We don't have a set "dress code." People dress comfortably and casually, so wear whatever you’d like, but remember you'll be playing with kids, so it'd be best to wear something easy to move around in.
