Hello Foothills UMC kids and families.
We're glad you're here!

Kids & Youth Programs Update (9/19/2021)For Sunday worship service, masks are required for everyone because of the Delta variant uptick.
For children and youth programs, we are following the county health guidelines for K-12 schools and for childcare centers. As of June 27, 2021 those guidelines state that for indoor children and youth programs, masks are required for everyone, regardless of vaccination status. For outdoor children and youth programs, masks are optional. Starting July 18, for KidsConnect, we will wear masks in King Hall for the 10-minute large group Bible story time and then spend the rest of KidsConnect in small groups outdoors on the King Hall patio where masks are optional. |
KidsConnect is our Sunday program for kids ages 3 through 8th grade.
Kids discover how they can "live in faith" by loving God and loving others . . . not just on Sundays, but every day of the week!

KidsConnect - Three Options!
In-Person (3 years* through 8th grade):
Currently, the worship service time is 10:00-11:00am. Bring your child/ren to the sanctuary first so that we can start the day together as an all-church family! Before entering the sanctuary, please sign in your child/ren at the sanctuary check-in table. After the children's message, kids will be escorted to KidsConnect for an engaging Bible story and interactive small groups with fun activities that reinforce the Bible message. *NOTE: If your 3 or 4-year-old would prefer an unstructured environment with access to toys, they are welcome at the nursery room (see Sundays for Babies & Toddlers & Preschoolers) Hybrid (10:10am on Sundays): Not ready to return to church? Got a cold or a sniffle? Have a sports game at noon? We offer a hybrid option where kids can zoom from home and will be connected to the in-person KidsConnect for the Bible story. During small group time, they’ll have their own online small group activity led by a KidsConnect leader. Get the zoom ID and password from Lisa Stewart. KidsConnect "on demand:" If you're not able to participate on Sundays, we provide the Bible story video and an activity that your family can do at home. CLICK HERE

Sundays for Babies, Toddlers, & Preschoolers Currently, the worship service time is 10:00am-11:00am. 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. NOTE: Effective June 27, 2021 (until further notice), we are following county health guidelines for childcare centers which states that all workers, adults, and children age 2 and older are to wear masks indoors.
