At BUMC, children and families can find a place where they experience the safety and security of God’s love, grow in their faith, and learn to share that faith and love with others!
BUMC Children’s Ministries is offering Messy Church on the third Sunday of each month at 10:15a.m. We will offer this interactive experience with scripture stories for kids and families once a month. We need volunteers for two areas: helping us plan each month’s story/activities; volunteers to help at each station with crafts, science experiments, Lego building, nature walks, etc.) Please email Cornel to volunteer at education@bataviaumc.org.
For those of you who have wondered what Messy Church is, here is an explanation form their literature.
“Messy Church began at a small church in England in 2004. Today there are close to 4000 Messy Churches throughout the world. Messy Churches include a variety of denominations; Episcopalian, Salvation Army, United Methodist, Baptist, Presbyterian, Church of Christ and many more. “
“This is not church for children. It’s church for church. It’s church for everyone…it’s a circle of all ages meeting together to engage in who God is in a way that works for them.” Archbishop Justin Welby.
Event Registration forms (Permission slips) are needed for each event. Students must also have a Registration form and Medical Release form on file in the church office.
If you have any questions, please contact us at Education@BataviaUMC.org or (630) 879-7060 during office hours. We can’t wait to see you there!
