Sundays
Sunday School is available for children 4-12 years of age during the service.
Weekly Sunday School:
Children have 30-40 minutes in a class with a teacher and helper. Typically, there would be a short prayer where they learn to talk to God and thank Him. A song or two, and simple lessons geared towards the Bible’s take on real life situations and of course all the wonderful stories in the Bible. We incorporate either a craft, game or even science, for hands on learning about God. They are encouraged to learn Bible verses. We also plan extra special activities occasionally around holidays such as a birthday party for Jesus at Christmas.
Children involved during worship time:
Children actively participate by coming forward during the children’s song to use rhythmic instruments and ribbons in their praise to God.
Offerings support others around the world:
Children may bring their offering forward during the children’s song. Together with their teachers, they decide what they want to raise funds for; for example, buy a goat or chicken for a poor family overseas, buy a school uniform for a child in Africa, etc.
Children support the needy locally:
On the first Sunday of every month, everyone at Living Faith is being asked to bring some food items to donate to the Food Bank. These will be taken into the sanctuary, and during the children’s song, the children will take baskets and collect all the contributions.
Special Fifth Sunday Family Service:
Every three months, there is fifth Sunday. At Living Faith Bible Church, these are designated as ‘family services’. Music will be geared to children, and the children will be involved in some ways throughout the service. The ‘sermon’ will be more like a longer children’s story – and we know adults can learn from these just as well as the children! These special services are meant to be joyous times for families to worship together.
