Amazement Park

The Amazement Park is our Sunday School offering for our children in 1st grade through 5th grade. Each week the children will come together in the Disciple Depot.  From there they will begin a journey to J. C. Cinema, Creation Carousel, Esther’s Eatery, Thessalonian Theater, Bible Bytes or Goliath Skills and Games where they experience the teaching of God’s Word in exciting new ways.

An amazing Sunday school learning experience for students in grades 1 through 5.

Featuring

· Creation Carousel

· Thessalonians Theater

· J. C. Cinema

· Goliath Sklill and Games

· Bible Bytes

· Esther’s Eastery

Each Sunday in a 4 to 5 week rotation, leaders will present the same lesson in a different style that is age appropriate. The lesson may by learned through art, drama, song, crafts, interactive computer lessons, cooking, reading, drawing and other active ways. This will help build familiarity, as well as allow children to experiences the lesson in a format they can learn and understand best.  Teaching the lesson over a 4 to 5 week period assures that children who may not be able to attend on a regular basis are still exposed to Bible stories that form the basis of our Christian faith.

Creation Carousel

This is our art workshop where students can be creative in their response and interpretation of the story. The art activity is the lesson.  In here art is emphasized over craft. Sometimes Creation Carousel becomes a science workshop where experiments help teach the lesson.

Thessalonians Theater

Through drama and puppetry, students experience the emotion of characters, and the story sequence details. Often the students create the drama. You sometimes see music or movement done in this workshop.

J. C. Cinema

In this workshop students learn by watching quality presentations and discussing them. The learning focuses on story sequence and details, historical settings or geological setting. In this workshop we sometimes do TV reporting where students will go out into the congregation to get others ideas, opinions and experience.

Goliath Skill and Games

Through a variety of games and activities, students learn the who, what, and where of a story.

Bible Bytes

With the assistance of a computer students learn the geographical and historical setting and story sequence and details. You may also find students journaling in this workshop.

Esther’s Eatery

Students prepare and experience food from Bible times. Or food is used as a canvas to teach the lesson.
