Hello Foothills UMC kids and families.
We're glad you're here!
TACO Time (TAking Care of Others)Sunday, March 19
4:00-6:00pm in the Zerbe Room (park in the upper parking lot) Join us for this church-wide (all generations together) event, eat dinner, build relationships, and serve others by working on a special project together. This month we'll be making Easter cards for some very special people at Foothills and in the community. CLICK HERE to RSVP so we can have an idea of how much food to prepare (and if you'd like free childcare for your 4 year old or toddler) Questions? Contact Lisa Stewart |
Lent Weekly Activity PageWe encourage you to use this at mealtime, drive time, bedtime, or any time you have 5-10 minutes to spend with your kids. If you don’t have a Bible handy, you can pull up www.Biblegateway.com on your phone. We use the NIrV translation in KidsConnect. The CEB translation is another easier-to-read translation for elementary age kids. If you have preschoolers and Kinder/1st graders, the stories in this Lent Weekly Activity Pagecan be found in most children’s picture/story Bibles.
May this Lenten season help you encounter Jesus as you spend time drawing closer to God in your spiritual practices. |
Pancake Dinner (Shrove Tuesday)Tuesday, February 21
Drop in any time between 5:00pm and 7:00pm King Hall (park in lower parking lot) Enjoy pancakes for dinner as we enter into the season of Lent!
CLICK HERE to RSVP so we have an idea of how much food to prepare. BIBLE BUDDIES FOR LENT! Kids can adopt a “Squishmallow Bible Buddy” to read to every day leading up to Easter. At the pancake dinner, we'll have a display of squishmallows to choose from. Kids will receive an adoption certificate and a "Bible Buddy Care Guide" they can use to become closer to God during the 40 days leading up to Easter. [The squishmallows are a generous donation from Kaitlyn S., a young adult who wanted to help bring this project to life before she moved out of the area.] Questions? Contact Lisa Stewart. |

Sundays for Babies, Toddlers, & Preschoolers We offer childcare at both services (8:30am and 10:30am). Your child/ren are always welcome to worship with you in the sanctuary. We do have a small "cry room" at the back of the sanctuary with rocking chairs if that is more comfortable for you, and we offer a "Bible story and craft time" for children ages 6 months to 3 years in the infant/toddler center in the building across from the sanctuary entrance. When you arrive at church, you can go directly to the childcare center and get your infant/toddler/preschooler settled in before you head over to the sanctuary, or you can start in the sanctuary and then go to the infant/toddler center at any time during the worship service.
