What to Expect in Kids Ministry at Newington Wesleyan?
We value the participation of Kids in our adult services - as worship is an experience that families should have together.
With this in mind, we have organized our Sunday Morning experience so that our kids can participate in the worship in song and Scripture. Following this portion of our service, our kids are dismissed to take part in specialized learning and activities in our designated children's area.
For families that prefer (or kids that need a few extra snuggles with their family on a given day), children are also welcome to remain in service with their parents.

We use Curriculum created by Kids Sunday School Place. Each lesson is part of a larger series intended to help kids learn and grow in their personal faith journeys.
Some lesson series we have used include:

Special Events for Kids at Newington:KD Fridays
Each Summer, we invite our kids to join us on Fridays at the Church to eat Kraft Dinner (or Annie's Gluten Free Mac & Cheese) and play summer games together. On hot days, we roll out the water games and set the kids loose in the yard to burn off all that extra summer energy. Parents are welcome to stay and have lunch with us or to take the time for themselves and rest while our leaders watch the kids for you. It's the Great Pumpkin, Newington! Join us every October as we enjoy a family fun day together with carnival food like Cotton Candy, Popcorn, Games, and Prizes. |
