Sunday morning Sunday School starts each week at 9:00am in the Children's Ministry Tree House (Children's Center). 

In both our PRESCHOOL and ELEMENTARY classes, we are following the Grow curriculum where each month becomes a new themed adventure as we explore and grow through scripture, music, crafts, and fellowship! 

CURRENT MONTH: January

MEASURE UP: A 5-WEEK SERIES FROM THE GOSPELS ON JESUS' EARLY LIFE & MINISTRY

SERIES OVERVIEW:

“When I’m older!” “When I’m taller!” Every kid is excited to grow up — even if it’s just to finally ride that big kid roller coaster they’ve had their eye on. This five-week series is about another kid who grew up — Jesus! Through stories from Jesus’ early life and ministry, kids will learn five important truths to help them continue growing: God guides us to safety, we can love God with our actions, we can follow Jesus, God makes us ready at the right time, and God's words help us make wise choices.

We'd love to have you join us for Sunday Morning Sunday School! If you aren't quite sure about attending in-person yet, participate from the comfort of your home! 

Contact Heather Thompson (heather@mtsylvan.org) for more information!

Nursery is provided for children who have not yet entered elementary school.

Whether you need nursery care so you can attend a Sunday School class and/or while you join us for Worship, your child will be in great care! When you come to our nursery, you will find a warm, friendly and inviting atmosphere! We are blessed with great volunteers that love kids. All nursery workers have undergone a thorough background check and have been trained to follow Safe Sanctuaries procedures.

Safe Sanctuaries training certifies individuals as safe workers with children and youth in United Methodist ministries. 

The nursery is found in the education building located across from the church sanctuary. Please ask any church member and they will be happy to point you in the right direction.

Performing Arts Day Camp (PADC) is a summer camp for children, held each year in June, who have completed Kindergarten-5th grade (must be 6 years old by August 31st). Each day of camp will include singing, learning choreography, practicing lines and solos, recreation and games, crafts, and dancing. Most days include a light snack. Friday mornings are spent at various assisted living homes in the Durham community performing for the residents, with a pizza party following, and Friday evenings include a performance and reception for all friends, parents and family!

PADC 2023: More information coming soon!
