God belongs to such as'
these.'

| The children are extremely important to the life and growth of our church. They are the future of our faith and WPC offers several different programs designed for the various age groups. |

Children's Ministry
| •
| The Preschool class meets in the nursery and is led by Allison Hurd. This year we begin a new curriculum, Discover God’s Love: 52 Bible Lessons for age 3 and 4. This age appropriate curriculum has simple-to-understand stories about God and God’s people. This book is filled with craft activities that will cement the truth of God’s lessons in their precious preschool minds. Allison is a dream to have with our youngest disciples and they are learning so much.

| Our younger elementary group meets in room 102 and is taught by Elizabeth Allcon. Elizabeth is a special education and elementary teacher. She is excited to be using the Seasons of the Spirit curriculum for our kindergarten through 2nd grade students. Seasons of the Spirit is a lectionary based study for children with sound reformed theology and creative activities. Our children can delight in the living word of God. |

| The Older elementary children are taught by Ramon Zepeda and Belinda and Randy Sapp in room 113. This class is for 3rd through 5th grade students. They are studying the Bible using an interactive curriculum found online at Children’s Ministry resources http://kidssundayschool.com. Using the Multiple Intelligences approach in Sunday school allows the child to experience God's Word through a variety of "hands-on" learning experiences. |

| In conjunction with the adult Wednesday Night (A)Live program, the children do a program called Footsteps. This program is for all children kinder through 5th grade. We have dinner at 6:00 p.m. and at 6:30 we begin by singing songs and playing a few games. Then we move into Bible study and activities. The children do elaborate art activities, learn Bible verses and Bible knowledge questions. And on occasion we have special programming. For instance, this past year we had special guests come in from a local Jewish Synagogue and teach us about and serve us the Passover, or Seder, Supper. |

| The Children in Worship program takes place during the 11:00 a.m. Sunday worship service. It is for children ages 3 through kindergarten and is hosted by parents and other adults in the congregation. Children are normally dismissed from the sanctuary after the Moment With the Children. |
