Seven Hills Kids

SEVEN HILLS KIDS ON SUNDAYS

Children of all ages are always welcome to remain with their grownups in the sanctuary during Sunday worship. We do also provide education for kids to hear the Gospel message in a way they can more easily understand and engage with. Children join their families for the beginning of the worship service and are then dismissed to their respective Sunday School classes prior to the sermon.

Nursery (ages 0-3): For more info see our Infants and Toddlers page. We offer nursery care for the 0-3 crowd with well-qualified and experienced paid nursery staff (infants should be old enough to sit unassisted to be eligible for care in the nursery). You may check your child into the nursery at any point from the start of church. The nursery is also open to any families helping their extra wiggly littles or nursing mothers who are more comfortable outside of the main sanctuary.

Preschool (ages 3-5)

In this class teachers aim to provide children with a strong foundation for who God is, His promises and faithfulness to His children, and point forward to his “Rescue Plan.” Lessons for this group often involve reading the Bible story, acting it out, games, singing, and simple crafts.

The Preschool class meets downstairs in part of the nursery space. Preschoolers join their families in the main sanctuary for the beginning of the worship service, and will be dismissed during the time of announcements to meet their teachers downstairs.

Lower Elementary (K-2) and Upper Elementary (3-5)

Through fun group activities, creative object lessons, games, Bible stories, prayer, engaging discussion, skits, and crafts, in the elementary classes we seek to deepen children’s understanding of who God is, His love for us, and who He created us to be.

On typical Sundays, these classes take place at our rental space at the Dilboy VFW Hall on Summer Street across from the church, a short five minute walk supervised by adult teachers and classroom assistants. Children are dismissed from the main worship service during the time of Announcements, where they will meet teachers in the foyer to walk over to class, then classes will walk back to the church building (supervised) at the conclusion of the worship service at noon.

Youth Hangout: Every first and third Sunday at lunchtime

Led by Geren Stone and Andrew Schuman, teens 6th grade through 12th are invited to come ready for fun while we catch up together in Davis Square over pizza right after church. Bring your stories, fun facts, emojis, prayer requests, life questions, or just yourself! We also love for our Youth to be involved in assisting and leading the younger children during lessons and in the church nursery, as well as other aspects of the church service. Contact Christine Stone for details.
