Sunday Morning Children’s Church
Contact: Marcie Boles – Children’s Ministry Coordinator – Sundays
10 AM Service (ages 3 – PreK; K – 2nd grade; 3rd – 5th grade)
Children are invited to join worship with their families at the start of the service. Then they will be released to class with their teacher and helpers. We are using the TRU curriculum where children will have a time to connect, hear from God’s word (“The Big God Story”), and respond to God’s word with an ending time of prayer and blessing.
At the end of each service, parents can pick up their children from their classroom.
*Children, of course, are welcome to stay in the worship service with their household. A child–friendly sermon outline, coloring page, and children’s Bible is available at the sanctuary entrances.
Please pray with me for more volunteers with the goal of adding class times and grade levels. Ongoing coaching will be available. If you are interested in serving in this ministry to the next generation, please contact Marcie Boles – Children’s Ministry Coordinator – Sundays.

Wednesday Night Activities
Contact: Sandra Taylor Children’s Ministry Coordinator – Wednesdays
Sept 2024 – March 2025
The Awana Clubs program is designed to foster connection with loving, caring adults so kids know they are loved by God and His church.
Learning and memorizing Scripture helps children know the Gospel, study God’s Word and believe what it says about life.
Through relationships and Scripture, children are discipled to grow a deep and lasting faith.
We’re kicking-off another season of Awana with the Carnival!
No dinner served that evening but lots of games, prizes and snacks.
Awana is for kids 2 years to 5th grade and nursery will be available.
If you haven’t registered yet, it will be available to fill out that night.
PUGGLES
AGES 2 – 3
Puggles teaches children four Big Truths from the Bible — God made everything, God is great, God loves us, and we give thanks.
CUBBIES
AGES 3 – 4
Cubbies celebrates the spiritual potential of preschoolers by helping them learn core truths about God, Jesus and salvation.
SPARKS
GRADES K – 2
Sparks ignites children’s curiosity and builds a foundation for knowing Jesus Christ. They will be discovering important people in the Bible and using that knowledge to connect the verses they are learning to their lives.
T&T
GRADES 3 – 5
T&T encourages kids to explore the meaning of God’s grace and how it affects our relationship with Him and others.
The Awana Grand Prix is a special event in which clubbers race small wooden cars crafted by themselves with the help of a parent or other adult.
Race car build night is an extraordinary event where many members from MapleRidge Church come to help the kids and their adults build their cars. We provide all the materials and equipment so that each clubber can safely construct the car of their dreams.
Race Night is a night full of energy and excitement! Many clubbers bring family members to help cheer on their cars as they speed down the track. Each age group has their own set of speed awards. There is also an overall speed winner. So there is the potential to win two speed awards!
Don’t forget about the design award! A separate team of judges will evaluate the cars before the races begin to make an expert decision. They take into account the shape of each car as well as how creatively each car has been decorated.
Grand Prix Race Night is one of the highlights of our Awana year. Can’t wait to see you there!
