♥ Jesus: A Children’s Valentine Event Celebrating God’s Love
This annual event focuses on our Savior's love for us and how we can share that love with others. This year we hope to make this a Parents Night Out event to give our wonderful parents a much needed rest. More details coming soon!
Easter Celebration
Each Spring we celebrate the resurrection of our savior, Jesus with a family event and children’s activities. Past events have included Easter Egg Hunts, a garden themed mission-based team adventure using the GooseChase app, an outdoor Spring Fling featuring craft and game stations, and more. Check back this Spring to see what we have planned this Easter season!
Bibles Awarded to our Third Graders
Each Fall it is our tradition to award bibles to our current class of third graders. Bibles are presented by the pastors during one of our Sunday morning worship services. Be sure to look for the sign up at the beginning of the new school year or reach out to Joy Rangel at jrangel@centreville-umc.org to have a bible inscribed for your third grader.
Fall Festival and Trunk or Treat
Cooler temperatures, lovely fall colors, plentiful candy and a reason to dress up in your favorite costume – what’s not to love about our Fall Festival and Trunk or Treat event?!! This popular event invites children to dress up in costume and go “trick or treating” among the decorated cars. This past year’s festival included carnival games, a fire truck exploration and free cookies and milk from the “Captain Cookie and the Milkman” food truck! We hope you’ll join us for the fun this coming Fall!
Decorating for Advent
All children are invited to help decorate the Children’s tree in the chapel. Children can make an ornament at home to bring in or can hang one of the ornaments made during Kids Quest on our Children’s Tree. Children 3rd grade and up are also welcome to participate with their family in the Hanging of the Greens to decorate the rest of the church for Advent.
Family Advent Events
Each Advent we celebrate the joy of Christmas with special children’s and family events. Past events have included a Baby Jesus Birthday Party and a Family Advent Experience featuring several holiday stations – ornament making, Jesse tree, Handchime Try-it, Mission opportunity, Family photo op and more. This year we are hosting a Walk to the Manger event.
Family Game Nights
Come play with us! Mrs. Rangel has a growing collection of strategy board games and family favorites – fun for all ages! Be sure to check out our website and current e-newsletter for more details and upcoming dates!
