Rotation Sunday School (K-3rd Grade)


We use the Workshop Rotation Model for Children’s Sunday School in order to help the Children to experience Bible stories in many different ways as they grow in faith. We invite and encourage all kindergarten-3rd graders to be a part of this faith experience.

In the Workshop Rotation, the same story is taught for four weeks, but children rotate to a different workshop each week to learn about the story in a different way. The repetition of the same story week after week helps the child remember the story. By teaching the story in a different way each week, the child has an opportunity to learn the story in a way that best suits their strengths in learning.

What workshops are offered at FUMC?

  • Temple Court: This workshop is for story telling, which might occur in a variety of ways. Sometimes the story may be told using a “picture” book, a video, puppetry, and/or by acting out the story!
  • Marketplace: In this workshop, children will experience the story through arts and crafts, science, or even through food! Because of these opportunities, the child has an opportunity to exhibit creativity!
  • JCJourney.com: Here the children engage the Bible story through the use of computers and video. Various software programs help the kids learn the story through computer based activities and games. At times, the kids might participate in making videos of the story by acting like newscasters telling the story or acting the story out!
  • Joyful Noise: As might be guessed by the name, in this workshop, children will experience the story through music and games, thus allowing them to engage the story through song and fun activities. In addition, they are given the opportunity to worship God!

Which workshop should a child attend each week?

We divide into two different age groups, and each age group will gather in a particular room before going to the workshop for the week.  See the map at the right to see where these rooms are located:

  • Kindergarten & First Grade
    Room 203 (aka Temple Court)
  • Second & Third Grades
    Room 215 (aka Joyful Noise)

In addition to dropping your child off in this room, you will also pick up your child in the same room at 10:15am!

$742.48 Raised for PowerPaks by Children – September 11, 2011

Our Children’s Sunday School worked together today to sell lemonade after the 10:30am Worship Service to raise money for PowerPaks 4 Kids, a project of the Wichita Falls Area Food Bank, that provides food for disadvantaged children in our community on weekends.  It cost about $170 / child per year to provide this service.

By raising $742.48, our children provided this service for a little over 4 children!  Way to go!

Children’s Rotation Sunday School Started New Study

On April 5, 2009, the Children’s Rotation Sunday School started a new study called “Easter: Go & Tell.”  Using Matthew 28:1-10, 16-20 as a basis, the children are learning that Jesus told his disciples (including the children and us) to go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them and teaching them to obey all that Jesus commanded.

For more information about the Rotation Sunday Schools,
