Fall Kick Off Celebration!

Mark your calendars for our exciting, first ever, fall kick-off party! Sunday, September 12th from 1:00 pm-2:30 pm we will be having a wonderful celebration with the whole family. Be prepared for updates on our new curriculum, information on the Sunday school program and policies, a special communion lesson for families, and many fun carnival games for the children!

Sunday School will begin the following Sunday,

September 19th!




Children and Youth Fundraising!

We have an opportunity for fundraising at Sugar River - we are excited to introduce the Scrip program. With this program families can support Sugar River while they shop. We would like to encourage families to consider where they plan to shop each week and pre-buy their gift cards through this program. Each gift card carries an associated "contribution" of 2-15% or more - that is money that we will use for different specific things in the children and youth ministries. Our current focus is for the High School youth mission trip to South Dakota. Please consider this way to support these youth while you do your everyday shopping and gift giving! Visit the table in fellowship hall for more information on this exciting program! You can also download a form here, fill it out and turn it in at the table in fellowship hall. Cards ordered one Sunday will be delivered at church the following Sunday



Nursery

Birth to 3 years of age

Sugar River's professionally staffed nursery is committed to providing a safe, nurturing Christian environment for young children. Our nursery director is certified in early childhood education as well as infant/child CPR and first aid.


Pre K - 5th Grade

Sugar River's worship service includes a children's message followed by an innovative, multi-age Sunday school for children age 3 (preschool) through 5th grade. This hands-on rotation model allows for a variety of learning styles. This is a Christian experience your children won't want to miss!

Family Sunday

On the first Sunday of each month there are no children's classes. This allows families to experience worship together. This special service involves all family members and features a child-friendly worship with activities specifically for the children.


Family Production Night

Family Production Nite is the first Sunday NIGHT of each month. This is an opportunity for families to invite other families and friends and come to the River for music, skits, and more. This will be a great time to learn how to apply the Sunday school theme to your family's life, share in fellowship with other families, and enjoy a meal together!

Puppet Ministry

The puppet ministry is a team of youth and adults who are passionate about spreading God's word. The goal of this team will be to provide meaningful entertainment to the congregation and other children at Sugar River.
The puppets will perform during "Childre's Time" each Family Sunday and at Family Production Nite.
