Children and Worship
All children (and their parents, if desired) are invited to participate in a
short children’s sermon with Reverend Howard during the church
service. Following the children’s sermon, children usually exit the
Sanctuary to participate in Sunday School activities. Children who are
uncomfortable leaving are welcome to stay for the entire church service.
Activity packets filled with drawing and coloring materials are available for
use by children during the worship service. They are located in a basket
at the back of the Sanctuary, or can be brought by an usher at any time
during the service.
Nursery
The nursery is located just outside the west (double) doors of the
Sanctuary and is available during the entire worship service. It is a bright
and cheerful space, containing toys and books to keep babies and
toddlers happy. The nursery is staffed every Sunday by parent
volunteers.
Sunday School
From September through May all children from preschool through 6th
grade are invited to attend Sunday School.
The preschool classroom, for ages 4-6, is located down the hall and to
the left from the sanctuary. Through Godly play curriculum Bible stories
are told with manipulatives and the story reinforced with arts, crafts,
books, music, and other activities. The atmosphere is calm and creative
and the children love it!
Grade-schoolers head up to the third floor classrooms to participate in
our Rotation Sunday School curriculum. This dynamic program is built
around 4-6 week rotation units that focus on a single Biblical theme or
story. The units break down into weekly workshops that take creative
approaches to the material using art, drama, music, and media. The
third-floor classrooms are newly renovated, colorful, well-designed
spaces, giving energy to the learning process.
Teens
Youth Ministry is aimed at encouraging teen involvement in the entire life
of the church. Youth Group activities are teen-driven and provide
experiences in worship, learning, socialization and service. Activities
include “breakfast club” programs on Sunday mornings, service projects,
bowling, lock-ins, and a church-wide annual talent show. Service trips to
other parts of the country, retreats and
camps are offered each year.

Confirmation
Confirmation is a time for young people to grow in their faith and
understanding of the church. It is a time of exploration. We use the
UCC curriculum, Affirming Faith, as the foundation of the program. This
is supplemented with mentoring and other activities. Confirmation at
Linden Hills UCC is a two year program for teens between 7th and 10th
grades; we are currently in the first year.
