Meridian Street United Methodist Church: Disciple Kids

Rainforest Adventure: A Tree Top Bible Blast! is a fun-filled, God-centered vacation Bible school (VBS) your kids will love! Every day is packed with activities designed to help kids experience the importance of stewardship. There's nothing like the sound of catchy Bible songs, the sight of a luscious rainforest environment, and the company of friends to make our VBS kids eager to climb among all the great adventures each day brings.

Our kids will experience Bible stories through an interactive combination of music, art, science, games, worship, and drama in this rainforest. Awesome art activities take place at the Canopy Crafts site; and there’s the Sky High Storytelling Site and the Green Tree Games Site. Kids will wiggle with delight as they swing to the music of God's love at the Rainforest Rhythm Site, and explore all the beauty and majesty of what's resting and playing in the canopy of the Rainforest with fun and easy science experiments at the Swing Vine Science Site.

Disciple Kids is a rotational Sunday School program for children Kindergarten through fifth grade. The name and the programming follow Meridian Street’s legacy of discipleship, building a foundation of Christian learning, faithful service and mission outreach.

Lambs are our youngest children from birth to age three. Little Disciples are our children who turn 3 or 4 before September 1 and are not yet in kindergarten.

Our curriculum this year for the Little Disciples (preschoolers) is a collection of Bible lessons that are connected to eight basic colors. There is an Old Testament story and a New Testament story for each of these colors. Think of a coloring book page. It looks rather plain – until it is colored! What a difference that makes! By adding colors and Bible stories to the pages of our Little Disciples’ lives we can make a real difference.

Frogs, frogs, frogs, what's with all these frogs! And who is that little guy in the tree looking at Jesus? Green is our color for April, so come and learn about the frogs in Egypt and how Jesus forgave Zachhaeus. We'll sing songs, make crafts, tell Bible stories and have a fun time learning about the Bible. Click on our rainbow for a surprise!

What happened after Easter? We know that Jesus rose from the dead, but then what? Come with us as we walk on the road to Emmaus and discover Jesus! He showed himself to his followers then and shows himself to us even today.

LIVE IT! Our fourth and fifth graders are learning how to build a relationship with God that they can use every day. We'll learn why it is important to have God in our lives and how to grow spiritually.
