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.) 

Dates to Note  

  • September 14 — Celebration Sunday: Blessing of the Backpacks during the 9:30 am service (kids, bring your backpacks!). After worship: Bounce House & games in the gym.
  • October 12 — Children’s Sing: Kids are invited to sing or help lead in worship.
  • October 19 — No Children’s Church (MEA break).
  • October 26 — Trunk or Treat (1:30–2:30 pm): Costumes welcome! Family fun and community outreach in the church lot (indoors if weather requires).

Super Wednesdays (K–5th) — Begins September 17, 2025

Our midweek program for kids features fun, faith, and a food-snack using GenOn Ministries’ curriculum—engaging for children and adults, alike.
