Children's Sunday School Program

Niles Congregational Church offers Sunday School program for our children year-round.  We use the Seasons of the Spirit Sunday School curriculum.

            During the school year, the classes are divided into three age groups:  preschool, elementary, and youth.  The preschool children meet in the Kidango preschool; the elementary class meets in the classroom between the office and the social hall (Ford Hall); the youth meet in the choir room.  Children begin each Sunday morning in the worship service and part-way through, leave for their Sunday School classes.  On communion Sundays, they are encouraged to return to the worship service so they can participate in this sacrament with the rest of the congregation.
            During the summer, our Nursery Care program continues and we also offer a less formal elementary class that meets in the Kidango preschool with the younger children.  Junior and senior high youth are encouraged to participate in the worship service.

Nursery Care

            Nursery care is offered each Sunday during the worship service for the youngest children in our congregation.  Screened adult volunteers take turns caring for these kids, sometimes leading them in activities gleaned from the Seasons of the Spirit Sunday School curriculum.  This program is available from before worship begins until it ends.  It is located in the Kidango preschool wing of the building.
