“Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one. You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your might. And these words that I command you today shall be on your heart. You shall teach them diligently to your children, and shall talk of them when you sit in your house, and when you walk by the way, and when you lie down, and when you rise. You shall bind them as a sign on your hand, and they shall be as frontlets between your eyes. You shall write them on the doorposts of your house and on your gates.” (Deut 6:4–9)
The Biblical expectations for parenting can be daunting. We are called to diligently teach our children and our grandchildren to love the Lord with all their heart, soul, and might. At Weatherford Presbyterian Church, our Children’s Ministry comes alongside parents to meet this command. Our teachers all love the Lord and delight to serve Him by praying for the families of children in their class, thoughtfully studying the Word as they prepare lessons, building relationships with children, and encouraging parents.
SUNDAY SCHOOL FOR ALL AGES - 9:30 – 10:20 am.
Each Sunday, from September through May, we offer Sunday School classes for all ages, Nursery through Adults. During the summer months, we meet for an inter-generational Sunday School class.
Nursery – Rotating Caregivers/Teachers:
In addition to loving care, our Nursery uses stories framed with God as both the author and main character to introduce simple truths about God's Character. Even toddlers can learn to pray and memorize short verses of Scripture.
Pre-K4-First Grade - Laurie Tiscione:
Lessons in preschool classes often use props to teach the Bible stories as we walk through the redemptive storyline of Jesus throughout the entire Bible. The Gospel is communicated to children in all its fullness.
Elementary 2nd Grade-5th Grade – Priscilla Hammond:
Children at this age begin to understand that they themselves are sinners, deserving God’s wrath and in need of redemption. We continue to focus on the Truth of who God is, what He has done for us, and how we should respond. Children are given Church Notebooks to help them participate during Worship service.
Middle School-High School – Rob Looper:
As our Youth begin to develop a Biblical worldview, they interpret all of life through the lens of Scripture. We encourage them to develop habits to study the Word daily, growing in their knowledge and love of the Lord.
This age group is taught by our Ruling Elder, Rob Looper, whose teaching focus is on theology and church history.
CHILDREN'S CHAPEL
Infants and children are always welcome in Worship!
Children 3 through 6 years may be dismissed from the Sanctuary after corporate prayer time to attend a special prayer, teaching, and worship time in the Chapel with Ms. Laurie. The goal of Children’s Chapel is to teach children how to worship God with the whole church gathered, as they are members of it.
Children's Chapel Teachings:
The Elements of Worship.
The Elements of Prayer.
(for a total of 18 lessons).
All the above teachings are repeated during the course of their time in Children's Chapel to reinforce the principles taught concerning worship and prayer.
