Children
"Train up a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not turn from it." Proverbs 22:6

Bringing your children to Sunday School says a lot. It tells your children that you think it is important to learn about God. Your children are in for a treat at ESUMC. They will be begging you to bring them back!

Sunday School 9:45 – 10:40 a.m.
All three-year-old through 5th grade children’s classrooms are located on the third floor.

Nursery
Young children are like sponges. They are capable of learning Bible stories from God's word at a young age.

  • Infants and crawlers experience God’s love through the tender care they receive on Sunday morning.
  • Toddlers and two year olds listen to a Bible story and enjoy activities of coloring and music, along with free play.
  • Three year olds (by August 31st) are encouraged to participate in Godly Play Sunday School at 9:45. Childcare is still available for three year olds in the nursery area during the 8:40 and 10:55 worship services. We only ask that you walk your child to/from the nursery area/Sunday School classroom at the appropriate times. To learn more about Godly Play keep reading.

Age three (by August 31st ) to first grade participate in Godly Play
Godly Play follows a pattern of worship during Sunday School:

  • Getting ready 
  • Listening to God’s Word
  • Responding to God’s Word
  • Giving thanks
  • Sharing the feast
  • Blessing and dismissal
