Childern Christian Education

The Children’s Christian Education team is looking for people to support our growing children’s ministry (have you seen the crowd of kids during the Children’s Sermon?!). We need teachers for both Sunday School and Church School. We need people to do various small jobs like design bulletin boards on a quarterly basis; plan fellowship activities for families on a quarterly basis; be our treasurer for our budget; write communications for the Courier, web and local newspapers as needed. The list goes on. You get the idea. We need people!

Children’s Advent Mission:
The children at Cottonwood Church would like to thank the congregation for their generous giving to the Children’s Advent Mission Project. Boxes of coloring books, crayons, match box cars, and hair barrettes will be taken to Shriner’s Hospital in early February. A great way for the Cottonwood kids to start the New Year knowing that these items will bring smiles to so many children.

With Easter fast approaching, we're starting to assemble our team of volunteers to help with the popular annual Easter Egg Hunt on Saturday, April 7. The jobs are easy and don't take a lot of time, but we do need many hands to make this work. Look for the sign up sheet in Fellowship Hall after the 11 a.m. service, or contact Sue Martin at 801-209-3062.

COTTONWOOD PRESBYTERIAN … A PLACE FOR YOU AND YOUR CHILDREN

WELCOMING CHILDREN IN WORSHIP

“Whoever welcomes one such child in my name welcomes me.” Mark 9:37

We believe at Cottonwood that worship is an essential way we learn what it means to be Christian. By enabling children to worship with their families, and the larger church family, every Sunday, they learn that they belong to Christ and are welcome in his church. They learn the Lord’s Prayer, participate in communion, witness baptism, and other parts of the liturgy.

In addition to the enrichment they receive in worship, Children’s Church School reinforces church worship and follows the Liturgical calendar. They hear stories from the Bible read and interpretted. They are enriched by the beauty of music and art as expressions of praise and as their responses to God. They build a store of the accumulated shared experiences of Christian community from which they may draw when they are older. They discover that they are valued as persons by God and by the people of God.

The photos were taken during the Advent season. Each Sunday in Advent the children made doves that represented hope, peace, faith, and love. They presented their home made church offering boxes which went to support mission in the community. The children sang for the congregation on the eve of the Hanging of the Greens and Sunday church service.

The children’s choice for Summer Church School is to again do activities that will focus on mission projects in the Church and the community. The activities will run during June, July, and August. All children are welcome.
