children's Ministry
In our Children's Ministry, our mission is to help kids find their way to God, connect with others,
and contribute to changing the world. We believe that kids have the capacity to walk intimately with God,
and we love to see them learn about God and connect through Bible stories, songs, and crafts.
VACATION BIBLE SCHOOL
JULY 17-21, 2023
Vacation Bible School is coming! This year we’re doing something new. We’re joining three neighborhood churches (St. James Episcopal, Grace Presbyterian, and Plymouth Congregational) for an evening Bible School.
We are hosting VBS here at CHUM.
VBS is Monday-Thursday evenings, with a family celebration on Friday.
The evening starts with dinner at 5:30pm and then the VBS fun from 6:00-8:00pm.
Children 3 years old to 6th grade are invited to participate. All participants must by potty trained.
Fifth and 6th graders are doing separate “Mission Possible” activities.

This year for VBS we are doing Compassion Camp: What Every Living Thing Needs, children will explore what all living things need to live—shelter, food, water, air, and community—and how we can have compassion for the living earth, especially in their local ecosystems. Through awareness, gratitude, wonderment, reciprocity, and kinship, participants will consider how to become co-sustainers and participants in the work of God’s creation. Using Psalm 104 as our grounding text, along with additional supporting scripture, participants will closely examine the interconnectedness of the whole earth—humans alongside the more-than-human world.
sunday school
We meet at 10:15 in the basement, during Sunday school, children, ages 3 years - 4th Grade, can join in the fun of faith formation at Sunday School! With a weekly lesson, Bible story and focus on the church calendar, children will engage in the life of the church as they begin to apply their faith to real life! We dive deep into the stories and practices of our faith as we explore God’s love in our lives together at Sunday school. The 1st Sunday of the month is our family worship Sunday, so we encourage families to worship together on this day, no Sunday school.
