Kirkwood UMC

Sundays - Birth-5th Grade
9am and 10:30am / During Both Worship Times

First Step - Follow the signs to the Kids Welcome Desk. On your first Sunday, parents will fill out a short information form to check in their kids. In future weeks, parents will check in by sharing their last name. Two stickers print out. One sticker with your kid's name on it and a three-digit code. Parents will keep the other sticker with the same three-digit code and use it to pick up their kids after worship.

Second Step - During Children's Ministry, your kids will have fun playing games, creating art, and playing in the gym all under the supervision of trained leaders who have passed FBI background checks. Each week's lesson focuses on two main truths: God Loves You No Matter What.
Love Your Neighbor No Matter Who.

Third Step - Pick up your kids at the designated pick up spot. Bring your sticker with the three-digit code that matches their sticker and pick up is safe and complete.

Play cafè
wednesdays, 3 - 5 PM, in KUMC's Gym

Parents, bring the kids and let them enjoy open gym time in our indoor gym play area while you relax and get to chat with other parents after school ends. Let the little ones wiggle out that afternoon energy while you catch up with friends or meet new ones!

Play Cafè will take a break over the Christmas holidays and will resume on January 10th.

VBS: Inside Out Too
Save the Date: June 17 -21, 6-8PM

We're going to have a fun week learning how Jesus loves us when we are Happy, Sad, Angry, and Scared. We have some special surprises on the exact type of fun that will be. We will tell you more about that soon. Night 5 on Friday will be a special, messy celebration that your kids will absolutely love. We are changing to an evening time so we can reach more children with God's Love and make it easier for people to volunteer. We will share much more later. For now, Save the Date and tell others to Save the Date, too!
