Animal Shelter Mission Experience

2011-05-09T08:30:00.001-07:00

Recently our kids went to the Animal Shelter and donated items like milk bones, canned kitty and dog food, old towels, old stuffed animals and much more. They also had an opportunity to interact with the animals. God can use us in many ways to minister to others and these kids got an opportunity to minister by donating food and through showing love by playing with the animals. The video below is just a glimpse at a way the kids ministered to the animals. Thanks kids for doing such a great job!!!

Just some glimpses of awesome things we do in the Children's Ministry!

What are we learning about in Sunday School

2011-01-23T19:47:00.000-08:00

We are currently learning about the different seasons in the Christian year. This week we learned about Easter, and how important that celebration is to Christians.

As part of our lesson the children put spring flowers onto three wooden crosses. These crosses were our altar flowers this Sunday.

We always have fun in Sunday school!! Come join us!!! Sunday School starts at 9:30. See you then!!

Kids can do anything!

2011-01-12T13:16:00.000-08:00

This is a phrase that is always said to the kids during Kids Club, Sunday School and all church activities. We want to remind kids that they can do anything for God.

On October 24th we had Children's Sunday, and three of our elementary kids brought the message.

This is a clip from the service and it shows all three of the preachers sermons.

These messages were written by them!

Meaning of Christmas

2011-01-06T17:51:00.001-08:00

This video was suppose to be shown at our children's christmas program, but unfortunatley we could not. So I have posted it online for your viewing pleasure. The first part is video clips of the kids saying what the true meaning of Christmas is, and the second part is celebrating the joy of sharing Christmas with family. In part two the pictures are of random moments in Central's life. I had to split the video in two posts. This one is part 1.

I hope you enjoy the video! If you are a visitor to this page for the first time we would love you to join us for worship at Central! You will always feel like home at Central! Many blessings!!

you are invited to...

Mom's Prayer Meeting

Sunday January 31st, starting at 9:15AM, there will be a Mom's prayer meeting. This is for mothers of all ages. Many of your kids have already gone back to school whether it be elementary, middle, high school or college, and are in need of prayer. No matter what their age, our kids are in need of prayer. We will meet in the sanctuary at Central United Methodist Church before Sunday School at 9:15 to say a prayer for kids (whether they are five years old or in their 50s). This is also a time to lift up other prayer concerns that might be on your heart. Please plan to attend. This is open to the entire community. If you have any questions please call the church office at (865) 524-1659.

A Glimpse into Sunday School at Central

2009-12-21T17:01:00.000-08:00

These are two glimpses into Sunday School. We were studying the story of Rebekah through science by learning how long it would have taken Abraham's servant (as well as ourselves) to cross the desert. We also learned through storytelling. We acted out the moment in the bible where Abraham's servant met with Rebekah. Take a look at Sunday School at Central...

We take one bible story from the bible, and over the course of 6-8 weeks learn about the story through a variety of different ways. We learn through art, music, storytelling, watching a movie, cooking, and even science. Its a neat way to explore the bible. Come join us on Sundays at 9:30 on the third floor!

K.I.D.S.

2009-12-13T19:42:00.001-08:00

What does K.I.D.S stand for? It stands for Kids in Dynamic Service. The kids at Central United Methodist Church are learning how to become strong Christian leaders. They are growing, and being able to minister to others in many different ways. Some of our kids are acolytes, they are involved in our children's choir, and we do some mission projects along the way.

The Kids of Central are learning how to be ministers. As Christians we are all called to be ministers. No matter what age you are, you can minister to others for Christ.

If you would like more information please contact our church office at (865) 524-1659,or bring your elementary kids to Kids Club which happens the 1st and 3rd Wednesdays of each month from 5pm-7pm. Or come visit us in the Children's wing during Sunday School, which starts at 9:30AM.

We hope to see you soon!!!

Many Blessings

Parent's Afternoon Out

2009-12-10T08:42:00.000-08:00

What is the deal with Parent's Afternoon Out at Central? Its a time where the kids can get a break from the parents! After all they need it!

As well as it is a time for the parents to run errands they need to get done. Parent's Afternoon Out happens 3 times a year on a Saturday. Its a great chance for the kids to fellowship in a safe enviornment, under the supervision of some pretty awesome adults. Our next one is Saturday December 13, for more information call the church at (865) 524-1659. If you are interested in letting your child attend, they must be between the ages of 2-12, and you must let the church office know the Friday before the event, so there will be enough food.

Hope to see YOU at Parent's Afternoon Out!!!!!!
