CHILDREN'S CHRISTIAN EDUCATION

Severna Park United Methodist Church provides a wide variety of dynamic programs for children to learn about Jesus and to put what they have learned into action.  We are committed to partnering with families to continue faith development at home.  Children are welcomed into all aspects of church life, including worship!

Craft Glue, and Awesome Bible Stories?

That’s right! Come join us for

Vacation Bible School 2008!

Who:

Vacation Bible School (VBS) is for children ages 4 through current grade 6, (3 years for full week volunteers) both SPUMC and non-SPUMC members. (Note: 3 year-olds should be 3 by June 15th, be potty-trained, and have previously attended an organized Sunday School or preschool.) There will be nursery care of younger children for volunteers only.

Due to the popularity of the SPUMC VBS program, all children MUST be pre-registered. We will be unable to accept walk-ins on the first day of VBS.  Registration begins Sunday April 27th for SPUMC Members and Monday, May 12th for the general public.

Registration forms are available here on the website, or may be picked up from Fellowship Hall, church office, or outside Beth Frank’s office (room 209) beginning April 27th.

Volunteers:

Please consider helping us out this year and making a child’s summer a big success!

Baptism - Baptism has a two-fold symbol. With children, the primary symbol is that God loves us before  we are able to respond. The parents make the vows, as does the church.  The baptized child will join the church later and make his/her own commitment to Christ at that time. When someone receives baptism as a youth or adult, that person takes the vows for him or herself. Baptism again becomes a sign of God’s love reaching us, only this time, we respond for ourselves. We understand God’s love for us while admitting that we are sinners. Water symbolizes that we are “washed” or “cleansed” from our sin.  Click here to see our webpage on Baptism.
