Children’s Ministries
Children’s Church (Pre-K–5th) — Sundays during 9:30 am worship
Begins September 14, 2025
Children begin worship in the sanctuary with their families and are dismissed around 9:40 am for Children’s Church—a kid-sized time of worship, learning, and play. This fall we’ll be using Road Trip, a creative and engaging curriculum that helps children explore faith in ways that connect to their everyday lives.
Volunteers: We’re building a supportive team of adults and teens to guide Children’s Church. Materials and guidance are provided; volunteers arrive by 9:15 am. Even a few Sundays make a difference! (Reply to Pastor Donna (ddempewolf@northfieldumc.org or info@northfieldumc.org) to be added to the schedule—we have about 12 spots to fill.)
