Your children are very important to us at OCUMC!  We are excited to offer a variety of programs and activities for your children. Nursery Care
We offer loving, quality care for your infants and toddlers that is both fun and safe.  We have in place a "check-in/check-out" system for the security of the children under our care.  Our Nursery Staff maintains strict sanitary standards and toys are checked and  disinfected regularly.
Rally Day '08! 
Sunday, September 7

Each year the Sunday after the Labor Day weekend is the beginning of our program year.   

Sunday Church School classes!
10:15 - 11:15am

We have a class for kids, 3 years - 3rd grade in Room 5-6 and a class for 4th grade and up in our Youth Center, Meggan's Corner.  Children will start in worship with their families,
be excused for class during the final opening song at about 10:10 or 10:15 and will stay in class until 11:15.
 This longer time allows for the extras – snacks and games – that are so much fun for the kids and help to reinforce the lesson.  This also lets the parents have some “chat time” before getting their kids.

Our Wednesday Night Program
“The Zone” from 6:30-7:30pm
"The Zone" - for 3 years - 6th grade - is an hour packed with activities -  stories, games, crafts, snacks & music.  Parents will register and sign in their kids and then the fun begins as we learn about what happens "In God's House"!  Want to know more?  (click here for an example of a lesson)

Parents have an opportunity during that time to attend a very casual worship service, using music and discussion as its format.  For more information, check this out.

The C.I.A.* Adventure Club
for 4th & 5th graders
The C.I.A. (*Christians in Action) will meet monthly to participate in a lot of fun “pre-youth group” activities, special outings, etc.

Their purpose will be to provide opportunities for the kids to participate in mission and ministry projects.

Watch for the schedule and the specific activities and projects.
