Our Sunday school here at Prospect United Methodist Church is very active
with total participation from all our children. We have classes from age 3 to our
8th grade confirmation class.The children join in our worship service at
10:00 am until Children's Time were they gather together at the alter for a brief
spiritual message.
Then it is off to Sunday school classes where they learn bible stories from the old and
new testament. The curriculum incorporates the use of plays, crafts, and games to
teach the children about God's Commandments. The life of Jesus and his teachings and
what it means to be a Christian. It also shows the children how to apply these
values to lives everyday.
Some of our annual events include:
 | Welcome Back Rally and Teacher Dedication in September.
|
| In October we present Bibles to our 3rd graders, and do a Unicef project for children
who are at risk.
|
| In December we have a family advent workshop where wreaths and crafts are made to
decorate our church and our homes as we wait for the celebration of Jesus' birth.
Our annual Christmas Pageant is always the highlight of our Christmas season.
The costumes are handmade by the students and their teachers and children of all
ages join together to retell the Good News of our Savior's Birth through drama and music.

to add his own special touch to the worship service. |
Through our the year our children help to lift the spirits of those in need by making
cards of encouragement, caroling to the homebound, raising money to by food for our
food pantry, and making vases for the flowers we take to our homebound members.
