Madison Presbyterian Church Children’s Ministry

WHAT ARE SUNDAYS LIKE FOR CHILDREN?

• Childcare is available for infants through preschool-aged during Sunday worship. The nursery is located in the first floor of the Education Building.

• We welcome all children to join our worship, embracing their wiggles and giggles regardless of age.

• Children's worship materials and activities are available in the hallway of the Education Building just within the doors next to the Sanctuary.

• A special Children’s Church message is part of every service, and programming in the Education Building follows the Children’s Church message during the school year.

• We encourage families to celebrate communion together the first Sunday of each month.

WHAT IS THE SCHEDULE ON SUNDAY FOR MY CHILD’S AGE?

Infants – Pre-K

• Children of all ages are always welcome in the sanctuary during worship, or

• Nursery is available during worship service (11 AM)

Pre-K - 2nd Grade

• “Let the Children Come” message during worship, followed by Children’s Church with Ms. Jordan in the education building.

• 1st Sundays, children stay throughout worship and may take part in communion

• Before heading into the sanctuary for worship, pick up a Children’s Bible or any of the other materials from the “PresbyKids Book Nook.” You’ll find them in the Education Building Hallway, next to the restrooms and just inside the doors that lead out to the sanctuary building.
  

3rd - 5th Grade

• Older elementary students remain in the sanctuary during worship

• Can serve in worship as acolytes or in other roles

NEW for the 2025 - 2026 school year!

Sermon Notebooks are available for each student to take notes, doodle, and process the worship text and sermon. Students may store their notebook in the “PresbyKids Book Nook” or take home. Our prayer is that these notebooks will serve as great “jumping off points” for meaningful, family conversation as our children start to develop their own ideas and beliefs.

Older Elementary, Middle, High School

• Opportunities to participate in worship by reading liturgy

WHAT CHILDREN’S PROGRAMS ARE AVAILABLE DURING THE WEEK?

WONDER-FULL WEDNESDAYS

We are excited to offer Growing in God’s Love, a Wednesday night faith formation program for children PreK–5th grade. This ministry is rooted in Scripture and shaped by creativity, movement, music, and shared community.

 Wednesdays | 5:30–7:00 PM

 February 4 – April 29, 2026

 Dinner provided

Each night follows a consistent, welcoming rhythm:

• Shared meal and fellowship

• Bible story and wonder

• Creative stations (crafts, games, music)

• Closing prayer and blessing

Important: This program is intentionally designed as a shared ministry between families and the church. It is not a drop-off program. Each family is expected to volunteer one Wednesday per month. All lessons, crafts, and activities are fully prepared—no teaching experience is required.

You can find weekly updates and announcements on our Facebook and Instagram pages, as well as in the Weekly Word.
