"Your word is a lamp for my feet, a light on my path." - Psalm 119:105
KID'S CLUB
Atkinson Congregational is a place where
children have fun learning about Jesus.
Children from Pre-K through high school meet the first Sunday of every month in Tuthill House. After a time of prayer and reconnecting in our Worship Room, children divide into small groups for activities. Kids are engaged in art, games, science, music, and guided discussion of Biblical stories and messages.
Our congregation welcomes and enjoys the youngest of God's children each Sunday. However, if you feel your child has more energy than you would prefer during the service of worship, you are welcome to bring him/her to the nursery. We have a rocking chair, a changing table, and many children’s books and toys.
During the weeks where we do not meet in person, virtual lessons are available. A new lesson is posted each Saturday and allows families flexibility. Sermon pew packs are also available in the narthex.
