Music The music department of First United Methodist church has two choirs for children: A children's vocal choir and a children's hand-chime choir.
The vocal choir is open to all children in grades K-6 and the hand-chime choir is open to children grades 3-6. These choirs traditionally hold weekly rehearsals September through May.
Holy Hands Puppeteers Our puppet ministry is open to children 3rd grade and older. Rehearsals are held immediately following the children’s choir rehearsals September through May.
Movie Nights We plan Kid's Movie Night once a month during the academic year. This is open to all children aged older preschool through sixth grade. Parents are welcome, too. We watch a movie, have snacks, play games and have lots of fun. For information on the next Movie Night, please contact the church office (740-593-3977).
Easter Egg Coloring and Egg Hunts On Palm Sunday we traditionally provide an after-church pizza lunch followed by a time where children and parents dye Easter eggs. The event concludes with Easter egg hunts – one for younger children with age appropriate treats and surprises and a more challenging hunt for older children.
Pumpkin Carving and Pizza Parties In October we gather on a Sunday to eat pizza followed by a time where children and parents carve pumpkins they have brought - a little messy, but lots of fun!
