Elementary
K.I.D.S. Celebrate!
(Kids In Divine
Service) :
Sundays at 9:00-10:15 a.m, 2nd floor of the Children's Center
Children at Okolona Christian Church enjoy and learn from this
high-energy worship program, designed with KIDS in mind. There's
never a dull moment from start to finish, but each moment is carefully
planned around a central Bible truth we call the "Power Point".
Every 5 minutes, there's a change in action that keeps the kids
riveted to their seats or on their feet---and more importantly
their attention on the presenters. The program incorporates a
time of praise and worship in song, the Lord's Supper, offering,
prayer, scripture memory, Bible Lesson, object lessons to re-enforce
learning, and a "Today's Life Story" to help them apply the truth
to their everyday life. The lessons are communicated through drama,
mimes, video and TV clips, puppets, crazy characters, and wild
games with questions to review previous weeks' learning. We use
multimedia/ technology wherever possible to reach today's high
tech kids. Kids are encouraged to use their gifts and talents
in our weekly services in the areas of praise teams, drama, devotional
thoughts, and technical. Discipline is never a problem because
team competitions help kids focus on doing their best!
DIVE (Dive
into God's Word):
Sundays at 10:45 a.m. - 12:00 p.m, 2nd floor of the Children's
Center
Take the plunge with us as we Dive
into God's Word! Dedicated teachers, who are committed
to sharing God's Word and their lives, lead groups of 10-18 children
in a deeper study of the week's Bible Truths. This time is designed
to teach children the Bible facts, aid in Bible memorization,
assist children in the application of these truths to their everyday
lives, and to help children determine ways in which they will
live these truths out in the coming weeks. We are dedicated to
helping children build strong faithful lives on the foundation
of Jesus Christ. "DIVE
Challenge"
W.O.W.* (Worship
On Wednesdays, September - April):
Wednesdays from 7-8:00 p.m., 2nd floor of the Children's Center
At W.O.W., fun and learning begin the minute you step through
the door. Youth Coaches and music meet our kids as they enter
our Large Group area for a mid-week recharging of their spiritual
batteries! The 1st 2 Wednesdays of every month blast off with
a Large Group time of high-energy songs that progress into times
of teaching. Bible lessons come to life as parents and coaches
act out the evening's lesson on a decorated set that reflects
the world as it was in Bible character's day. Small group time
follows. Kids and coaches are afford the opportunity in Small
Group to learn about God's truths on their grade level in an environment
where fellowship, sharing, and community building are fostered.
Kids and their coaches work to build lasting relationships with
their Savior and each other. The evening concludes with a time
of corporate prayer.
Now the 3rd Wednesday
of each month is VERY different, as we enter the "Double Dare
Zone" held in the K.I.D.S.
Corner. Double Dare Zone is a fun-filled, high energy time of
Bible Lesson review, where brief periods of Q & A reviewing the
previous weeks' lessons are followed by individual games and group
challenges. The Double Dare Zone provides a relaxed environment,
which is perfect for bringing friends and building relationship.
Monthly outings and
service projects are offered to help our children grow in service
and community.
