Special Events
In addition to Sunday School, our Wednesday night program, and VBS, throughout the year there are a number of special events. During the season of Advent we have a Children's and Youth Christmas Pageant during a Worship Service where they "tell" the Christmas Story using Narrators and Song. During the season of Lent the children will have the opportunity to process with palms during the Worship Service on Palm Sunday. Also, there will be an Easter Egg Hunt and a special telling of the Easter Story. In the summer there are usually some outings planned such as swimming, for school age children, and other fun activities.
Vacation Bible School - 2025
Vacation Bible School at Couts UMC was so much fun as we celebrated Christmas in July. We had approximately 110 Children, Youth, and Adult Volunteers that enjoyed 4 evenings of study, crafts, snacks, games and music. The last evening the families of the children came together for an evening of worship, a meal and fellowship. 2026 Dates will be coming soon.
WHAT WE TEACH
Your kids will experience an age appropriate lesson that will teach them about God and God's love for them. The teaching is interactive and utilizes multiple approaches for different learning styles to help them encounter the holy. The goal at Couts United Methodist Church is for kids to understand who Jesus is and how He can make a difference in their lives in meaningful and engaging ways!
SAFETY
All staff and volunteers are trained to create an atmosphere where families can confidently leave their children and know they will be well cared for and safe. Every staff person and volunteer who works with children and youth is screened with a background check and MinistrySafe certified. Parents are asked to not leave their child until at least two MinistrySafe adults are present. We love partnering with you to make sure our young people have a safe and loving place to grow in their faith!
