Children’s Ministry
Jesus said to let the little children come to him. Here at Montrose Zion, we try to help our children come to Christ. A child’s personality and worldviews are completely formed for the rest of his or her life by the time childhood is over. This is why it’s so important to nurture young children in the faith. Please take a minute to read about our children’s ministries here at Montrose Zion, and let us help your child come to Christ.
VBS Donation and Volunteer Opportunities
We will be collecting donations to use during the week of July 6-10 when we host “Rainforest Falls” VBS. Please see the display at the table in the entry way and consider grabbing a “leaf” with a needed item listed on it. We ask that all donations be returned to the black bins no later than Sunday, June 28. If you prefer to make a monetary donation, please place it in an offering plate and write “VBS” on the memo line or on the outside of the envelope or visit our online donation platform HERE to give electronically. And, if you are able to volunteer for just one day or for all 5 days that week, we would love to have just a few more helpers for this awesome ministry! Click HERE to let us know if you can help.
Children and Youth Ministry Yearly Training
If you volunteer for Children’s Church, Sunday School, Nursery Care, VBS, Youth Group, or any other role that involves the children and youth of our congregation, we are required to provide training (also referred to as “Child Protection Policy & Abuse Prevention Workshop” or “Safe Sanctuary”) on a yearly basis. We would like to offer this training on Wednesday, June 10 at 7pm in the Youth Room. This training should not take more than 1 hour. We will offer one additional training on Sunday, June 28 at 11am if you can’t make the first session. All volunteers need to make it a priority to attend one of these sessions as there is important information to be shared. Please let Jen or Bethany know if you are NOT able to attend either session.
Children’s Church
If you have a child who is at least 3 years old up through those who are in or have just completed 3rd grade, please feel free to have them join us during the worship service for Children’s Church.
Sunday School
There will be no Sunday School classes during the summer months of June, July or August. We look forward to kicking off the new school year in September with our new classes. Stay tuned for more information to come.
Nursery Care
There will be no formal Nursery Care provided during the summer months of June, July or August. We will have a space for any families who wish to take their young children out of the sanctuary during the worship service in our Cry Room. This room is located at the rear of the sanctuary and has a window and a speaker so you are still able to join in the service if desired. This room is supplied with items to keep your young children occupied as well as diaper changing needs and comfortable seating with a bathroom just steps away.
