CHILDREN AT WSUMC

Children are very important to Washington Street. At Washington Street, children are guided to grow in their faith and become genuine followers of Jesus Christ. Our mission is to partner with families for the spiritual formation of their children.

In addition to Sunday School, WSUMC offers various programs and activities throughout the year for our children. Programs such as Kids Choir are year-round. VBS is offered every summer, and we offer Parents’ Night Out at various times throughout the year. Special events are also planned during the year such as an Easter Egg Hunt and Fall Festival. For more information about any of our children’s activities contact Sarah-Kate Gravely at [email protected].

Young girls from 3rd to 6th grade are invited to participate in Mary’s Maidens, a United Women in Faith group. This group is led by Mary Lide and Kathy Wright. Mary’s Maidens meets monthly at the church and are engaged in many community and church-wide community activities and fundraisers including UNICEF and Heifer International.

YOUTH GROUP

Washington Street Youth Group is a safe place for young people from 6th to 12th grade to join in the community together. We understand the importance of having loving adults who can lend a listening ear and we also understand the pressures and stress young people face today. Washington Street is here to provide a supportive and welcoming space to all young people. Students are welcome to join in on Sunday evenings from 4:30 to 6:00 pm in the Youth Room on the 3rd floor or engage in Sunday School at 10:00 am before attending worship. At Youth Group we eat a meal together and then move into a time of faith exploration. We end the night with games, group time, and prayer. If you have any questions or would just like more information, get in touch with Sarah-Kate Gravely, Director of Children and Youth Ministries at [email protected].”
