What Happens to Your Children at Wesley Park.Hopefully, as the good parent that you are, you are concerned as to what happens to your child when, after the children's moment they are all herded in pied piper like fashion out of the service. Well, be assured that at Wesley Park, EVERYONE who works in the children's ministry is cleared through the State Police and the Child Protective Services and has a love for children. We are very protective of all our children.
What are Worship Centers?A Worship Center is a Christian education curriculum that is based in the Montessori tradition of teaching. In a Worship Center the children sit in a circle on the floor where they get ready to hear one of God’s stories. American Sign Language is incorporated into the greeting, the call to worship and the songs we sing in the Worship Center. The stories told in the Worship Center are from three genre: Sacred stories, Parables and Liturgical action lessons. This method of teaching is experiential so children can touch and work with the story materials after they are presented by the Worship Center teacher/leader. These stories remain on the shelves once they are told which provides the children with many opportunities to experience these stories over and over again. In this method of teaching, the children come to “own” these sacred stories, parables and liturgical action lessons……thus planting seeds of faith! The Worship Center is a fertile garden filled with the wonders of God’s stories where children have time to experience God. |
