Henderson First

Kid’s Church:

After Sunday School, the Kids come in Chuckville for a little free time.  Afterwards, we take them downstairs for Praise & Worship.  Following that, we take them back upstairs for B.G.M.C.,  Puppets, Games,  Object Lessons, Characterizations, Slide Stories, and Prayer Time.  The second Sunday of every month is a special day in which the kids can dress in some strange fashion, such as 'Sports Day.'

Junior Puppets:

The second puppet team we have, Junior Puppet Team, is the team that performs for kinderchurch.  They have a puppet stage all their own that looks like a crayola box, and the puppets are crayons.  This team is under the direction of Alex Nantz.  They meet every Wednesday at 6:30, and perform a puppet song.

VBS Vacation Bible School:

In June, we have a 5 day Vacation Bible School (V.B.S.) that is concentrated time of bible study, memory work, crafts and fun for ages K-6.  For 2007 our theme is 'Avalanche Ranch."  VBS is scheduled for June 25 -29.

JBQ Junior Bible Quiz:

September through March, the kids focus on Junior Bible Quiz (J.B.Q.)This program is a bible study version of Quick Recall.  Children are quizzed on the word of God. Once each month, our team meets with other teams out of town to compete.  At the end of the season, a state tournament is held to see which team is the best.

Senior Puppets:

The Senior Puppet Team, "Puppets R Us" is the team that performs the most and consists of six people: Alex Nantz, Megan Goldsberry, Ashley Smith, Levi Davis, Susanna Schaefer, & Cade Wilke. This team is under the direction of Chuck Tidd.  They meet every Wednesday at 7:00, and perform a skit every Sunday morning.  

 

Stick Drama:

Stick Drama is a form of human video.  They take a song and act it out using dowell rods in their hands. It is a very powerful use of drama.  At times it is very simple, other times it's very difficult.  However, the performances are always fun. 

Kid’s Camp:

Each year in July, we go to Crestwood, Ky.   for a week of camp, that features children’s services, crafts, swimming, sports, clubs, team competitions, and five fun-filled days with 200+ kids from around the state. At kids camp we had, 6 First Time Salvations, 65 Rededications, 30 Reports of Healing, 15 Reports of the filling of the Holy Spirit, 28 Reports of Refilling of the Holy Spirit, and 8 felt called to full time ministry.

Christmas Choir:

August through December, the Children practice a Christmas Choir.  There are songs for Choir and Solos as well as props to use, and acting roles.  The theme of the play changes every year, but emphasizes the true meaning of Christmas. Our last performance was called "3 Wise Men & A Baby"
