Hands on Bible
Sunday School - 10:00 a.m.
PreK-K in room 309

Play and Worship in Childcare
For children too young to participate in Sunday School (or worship), Bayside offers Play and Worship for your toddler. The children use building blocks to make a road for Jesus’ triumphant entry, they rescue dolls from Daniel's Lion’s Den, and shake blue paper to sound like the stormy seas. Through their play, they learn that God helps them when they are afraid; they can trust God. We use objects from a preschooler's everyday world for play, fun, stories, and songs.

Weekday Activities
JAM
Every Wednesday evening during the months of September-May, children from kindergarten to fifth grade gather for a program called JAM, Jesus and Me.
We believe that the Bible should never be boring, that worship can be really loud, and that good leaders ALWAYS care. JAM is a children's ministries program where we want kids to see how God's word fits into their lives, to learn how to talk to God, and to build friendships that will last.
Here is the schedule:
5:15 - 5:45, Group Dinner in Fellowship Hall
5:45 - 6:20, JAM Opening in the Music Suite
6:20 - 7:00 Bible story, craft/activity
7:00 - 7:30, Games
***During Covid this group is meeting via Zoom from 5-6 pm. Contact Lacy Schimmel for the link and more information.
