Children’s Summer Ministries During Covid-19
Our remote ministries will continue throughout the summer (see below for everything else that’s going on!), but we will also offer VBS—VIRTUAL Bible School!
All children entering grades PreK-6 are invited to VBS July 27-July 31. VBS is a fun-filled week for kids to play and learn through storytelling, games, crafts, and science experiments. Through this summer’s “Great, Big, Beautiful World” program we will be learning about and exploring our “Great, Big, Beautiful World,” discovering that God created everything—even us!—cares for everything, and calls us to care for God’s creation, too. Kids will learn why caring for the environment is important and find ways that they are able to do just that. Each evening there will be a video premiere on Fairmount Avenue United Methodist Church’s Facebook page with the Bible story for the day. After the video, all kids will be invited to join their Zoom groups (arranged ahead of time for the week of VBS), where they will share in games and activities to dive deeper into the story. We will provide the activity materials and directions you will need, or a VBS guide of everything you need to get started yourselves. Videos will be set to premiere at 6:00pm every evening, but of course, small groups can schedule to meet at different times, if it is more convenient to participate that way. Register using the form linked here. Send your completed registration form and any other questions to Ashton Horsley, Director of Children’s Ministries at ahorsley@faumc.net. |

Stay Connected- Children's Ministry During Covid-19
Though we are not able to worship or participate in activities together during the Covid-19 outbreak, we will continue to offer opportunities for our children to learn, play, and grow in faith together.
Weekly Newsletter
Parents of children grades PreK-5th will receive a weekly newsletter on Saturday afternoons with Children’s Ministries updates. These will include a brief Sunday School message and an activity for both our PreK-1st/2nd grade and 2nd/3rd-5th grade age groups. As we enter the month of April, we will continue our spiritual practices; each week the newsletter will feature an affirmation grounded in scripture, an invitation to reflect on our lives as they are represented and affirmed in the Bible. If you are not already receiving these newsletters, and would like to, please email Ashton Horsley, Director of Children’s Ministries, at ahorsley@faumc.net.
Children’s Sermons
Everyone is invited to live-stream worship at 10:30 AM on Sundays, and kids are invited to a Children’s Sermon with a special message just for them! Children’s Sermons to accompany worship will be pre-recorded and posted to Fairmount Avenue’s YouTube channel no later than 10:00 AM every Sunday. Search “Fairmount Avenue United Methodist Church” on YouTube to tune in!
