DISCOVERY YEARS
3 Years to Kindergarten
This program for children ages 3 to kindergarten is held in conjunction with weekend services. We use a hands-on curriculum which incorporates lots of games and action as a part of the Bible-learning process. Teachers make a 3 month commitment. All necessary materials are provided. Expect to spend 3 hours per week of preparation and in-class time. Sub-teachers fill in for the regular teachers when they are needed. Song leaders are needed for the 20-minute large group singing time.
Positions: Teacher, assistant teacher, substitute teacher, song leader.

Green Team Puppetry. Serving Discovery Years. Two Sundays per month our Puppet Team performs skits or songs for the Discover Years large group gathering. We also perform for the annual Harvest Carnival event on or near Halloween and occasional outreaches. Currently commitments involve 1-2 Sundays a month from 8:30am until after the 11:15 am service. We perform about 15-30 minutes for each Sunday service at 9:35 and 11:35am. This has typically involved youth ages 11 and up, though we always invite adults to participate in support roles allowing the youth to do the performances. We ask for a 9 month commitment from September through May of new members. A tryout is expected to confirm adequate arm strength for all puppeteers.
