Sunday School Leader Trainings​

We are forming this year's pool of adults to lead one of three Sunday school classrooms that run during worship, and we hope you’ll consider joining us!  We have a great need for both older youth (mature Middle schoolers and high schoolers) and adults to share their gifts and talents with the children.  Do you have a heart for young people, and want to share your time with our children and youth?   While the time commitment is small (usually adult volunteers are only needed about 4-5 Sundays over the course of the school year), the reward of connecting with our children and youth is great.

​​Children and Youth – Volunteering at Bower Hill

As our children and youth grow in their faith, it is a joy to provide opportunities for them to discover and use their gifts at Bower Hill.  There are a number of ways to involve your kids in the worship services each week!  Please prayerfully encourage your youth to serve in one of these capacities.

 

Acolytes - Training

Bringing the Light of God’s presence into the sanctuary is one important way kids in grades 3-7 are involved in the worship service.  Acolytes are scheduled starting in September.  Pastor Brian will lead a short (10-15 minute) training IMMEDIATELY following worship on two Sundays, September 22 and 29.  This training is open to both new and experienced acolytes.  We will walk together from Sunday school class to meet Pastor Brian in the sanctuary in front of the communion table immediately following worship. 

 

 

Leading Wonder for Preschool -2nd graders

Does your older youth (8th grade and up) love to work with younger kids?  Consider having them try to lead a Sunday school class just for younger children.  The kids begin in worship; you meet them after Time with Children and go to room 103, where you will share a short Godly Play story (it's scripted so you know exactly what to say) and response activities.  This qualifies for service hour credits needed for high school.
