Discovery Hour - 8:30 and 10:00am - All Ages (Nursery care is available at all services)

Our Sunday School program offers opportunities for children to learn about their faith. Our classes are safe, fun, and provide a time for children to fellowship with their peers and rotate to Music and Chapel time. We offer a variety of curriculum designed to best serve each particular age group.

During our worship services, we offer nursery care for newborns though 5 years of age. It is our joy to provide care for your children! While we’re changing diapers, God is changing lives. Nursery labels are utilized to ensure authorized pick-up for the safety of your little ones. We use a pager system in case parental attention is needed.

Kindermusik is a unique music and movement program for very young children. It’s designed to help little ones grow in their social, cognitive, language, musical and physical development. It is also a great bonding time between parent and child while they share God’s awesome gift of music. In a typical class, parent and child will sing, dance and play instruments together.

The winter/spring semester of Kindermusik classes begins the week of January 23rd and runs for 15 weeks. Classes are available for children ages newborn-5 years. Please contact Janet Brown at 417-623-7090, ext. 31 or email her at www.spumcmusic@gmail.com for more information. You can also visit www.kindermusik.com for more information about the benefits of music.
