The task of education is to nurture their spirituality because, if it slips away, they can spend a lifetime searching for it. Our Church School program is designed to nurture spiritual development, familiarity with Bible stories, and offer the children what they need to continue their growth in faith. <br /> <br /> Topics and lessons are presented in Workshop Cycles. Children work on the same Bible story or concept for several weeks using different learning approaches in each workshop. Possible workshops include art, storytelling, music, cooking, games, drama or puppets, science experiments, and movies. Cycle classrooms are intended to create an inviting atmosphere where children are challenged to learn. They are taught by teams of two to three adults, who are volunteers from our congregation, focusing on one cycle of Bible lessons or one topic for three to five weeks. The variety of lesson plans helps to generate interest in a topic and enthusiasm for learning. <br /> <br /> Along with the workshops we have four children's services led by and for the students. They read prayers and scripture, organize and lead the music, collect the offering, and deliver a closing prayer. A teenager delivers the sermon. We also have Special Events Sundays, during which we may have guest speakers to talk about mission activities or other issues. <br /><br /> Faith is a journey, and all grow in the wonder and joy of God's abundant love and grace. Children are invited to join their parents in the Sanctuary for the first part of the service and the Children's Moments. After the Children's Moments they gather all together in the Meeting Room before going to their respective workshops. <br /> <br /> <p align="left"><font color="#000099" size="+1" face="Times New Roman, Times, serif"> <font size="+2"><strong><U>Childcare</u> </strong> </font> <br /> <br /> Childcare is available for infants and toddlers from 9:45 to 11:15 am, every Sunday and until noon on Forum Sundays. It is also available with a pre-reservation for all special events. The childcare room is in the middle of the Church School wing opposite the main hall doorway. Our childcare providers engage the little ones in story, play, and art, as well as providing loving care. Pagers are available for parents. <br /> <br /> </font> </font> </p> </td> </tr> <tr> <td height="89" valign="top"> <font color="#000099" size="+1" ><strong></strong></font></p></td> </tr> <tr> <td height="2"> <font face="Times New Roman, Times, serif"><strong> <a href="http://www.roundhillcommunitychurch.org/calendar.php?cal[] =CHURCH" title="Church Calendar" target="_self" >Calendar of Church Events</a></strong></font> </p> </td> </tr> <tr> </tr> <br> </table> <br> <!-- *** Begin Section 4 -- Bottom Page Logo/Contact Info *** --> <hr> <table width="100%" border="0" align="center"> <tr> <td width="4%" rowspan="2"><strong><font face="Times New Roman, Times, serif"> <img src="RHCC-Logo1.ico" width="35" height="50"></font></strong></td> <td width="31%" height="29" valign="bottom"><strong><font face="Times New Roman, Times, serif"> Round Hill Community Church</font></strong></td> <td width="23%" valign="bottom"><strong><font face="Times New Roman, Times, serif"> 395 Round Hill Road</font></strong></td> <td width="24%" valign="bottom"><strong><font face="Times New Roman, Times, serif"> Greenwich, CT 06831</font></strong></td> <td width="18%" valign="bottom"><strong><font face="Times New Roman, Times, serif"> (203) 869-1091</font></strong></td> </tr> <tr> <td height="21"> <strong><a href="Contact.html">Contact Us</a></strong></td> <td><strong><a href="Directions.html">Directions</a></strong></td> <td>&nbsp;</td> <td>&nbsp;</td> </tr> </table> <hr> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> </body> </html>
