Worship Details
The Importance of Worship
At Clemmons UMC, we value worship for all ages. All children are welcome and encouraged to join their families at any of the worship services. We invite you to click on any of the categories below to explore additional ways your children can interact with our worship space each Sunday morning.
-
Worship carts are located in two different spaces. The first location is in the narthex at the back of the sanctuary. The second location is in the small commons area on the right as you walk into the front of the sanctuary.
These carts contain Christian and character uplifting books, simple drawing/art activities, activities pertaining to the sermon or church season, and fidget objects. Children are invited to use any of these materials during worship services.
We ask that you please return any books and unused supplies back to the worship carts at the end of worship.
-
During the 9 am and 11 am Worship Services, we offer a special time for children in the service.
Afterward, children are invited to attend worship care at their parent’s discretion. Parents of children ages birth to 2 years old are asked to take children to C-101 Nursery. The Children's Director or a volunteer will escort those 3 years old and up to C-105 for 3, 4, and 5 year olds and to the Chapel for those in Kindergarten - 5th grade.
-
KidKhords - Children ages 3 and up to 5th Grade are invited to participate in KidKhords. Classes include musical instruments, singing, and beginning music theory appropriate for each age group.
Please stay tuned for information regarding the next scheduled classes.
-
During the 11 am worship service we will offer worship care for elementary school aged children. After the children’s moment is over in worship, elementary aged children will be invited to join our Children’s Director and the Worship Care volunteers in the commons area outside of the right hand sanctuary doors.
Preschool aged Children will be shepherded to the preschool Sunday school room (C-105) & elementary aged children will be shepherded to the chapel where they will do crafts, mission projects, and/or games that align with the sermon of the week.
Parents will pick up their children after the service in their appropriate classes. The Chapel is located in the Children’s Wing of the church down the hall from the preschool classroom. Please see hall signs if you need directions finding your way.
