Children must be 4 on or before Sept. 1 to be in 4K, etc. At Marietta First United Methodist Church we use the public school cut-off date for age level classes.

NURSERY (AGES 0-36 months)
PRESCHOOL (AGES 3-4)
ELEMENTARY (GRADES K-5)

Children’s Fuse Sunday Worship
Fuse Worship is offered at 9:00 and 11:15 a.m. for children ages 3K-Kindergarten. Preschoolers may be brought upstairs to Room 316 prior to the worship service. Kindergartners sit with their parents until the children’s sermon. At that time, parents and children will listen to the message together, and then leave the Sanctuary with the Fuse Worship leaders. If your child has not been to Fuse Worship before, we recommend that you walk with them the first time so they will feel more comfortable and you will know where to pick them up. Call Georgia Rambo, ext. 7805, if you have any questions about Children’s Worship.

Children’s Sunday School
Join us for B.I.G. happenings in Sunday School at 10:10 a.m. All classes meet on the third floor of the Sanctuary building.
