CHILDREN CLASSES & ACTIVITIES
"A Night in Bethlehem" - - Save the Date, Sunday night, Dec. 7th, 2008
Families will travel back to ancient Bethlehem and "report" to be counted in the census. They will taste, see, and smell what daily life was like when Jesus was born. Our shopkeepers, craftsmen and food merchants are planning for their arrival. The marketplace has shops and activities for children of all ages including the Perfumery, Bakery, Dye Shop, Toy Making Shop, Musical Instrument Shop, Storytelling, and the Jewish Family Home. Be wary of the Roman guards who may ask for identification! Also, the Tax Collector, Villagers and Shpherds will be roaming about interacting with guests.
This evening also includes a live nativity where families can see (and touch) live animals, hear the nativity story and experience heavenly music from our "Angel Choir."
Admission is free but donations are welcome and appreciated. Contact Kellie Denton, Minister to Families with Children at 770-469-5856 or kdenton@smokerisebaptist.org.
Children's Fellowships
All age levels have special activities planned to help the children become better acquainted with one another.
Special Classes
We offer a New Christian's Class and other special discipleship classes for our children to help in their faith development.
Inquirer's Class
Has your child begun asking about what a Christian is or how one becomes a Christian? The Inquirer's Class is for both parents and children. In the first class, parents will meet with Kellie to discuss how to talk with your child about becoming a Christian. In the second class, those inquiring children will meet with Kellie to talk about what a Christian is, when can one become a Christian and any other questions they have!
