Hiland is dedicated to providing a safe and welcoming environment for children as they learn and grow in faith. We offer many opportunities for kids to learn about God’s ultimate love such as Children and Worship, Sunday school, the Easter Egg Hunt, the Fall Festival, Vacation Bible School, and the annual Children’s Christmas program. For the family, we offer events such as movie night, the Mother/Child Tea, and the Father/Child Breakfast. To learn more about specific future activities, contact Linda Davis, Director of Children’s Ministries.
VBS 2012 – June 11-14 from 5:30-8:30 p.m. (includes light meal) with closing program June 15 at 7pm. 
At SKY Vacation Bible School, kids discover that everything is possible with God! SKY is filled with incredible Bible-learning experiences kids see, hear, touch and even taste! Science, games, music and crafts are all part of the fun that is SKY VBS. Kids will see the evidence of God in everyday life as we encourage them to look for “God Sightings.”

REGULAR ACTIVITIES
Sunday School (September – May):
We offer a large group/small group format similar to VBS where we join in small groups and then have large group time for music and Bible stories. Children will be separated into Preschool, Lower Elementary and Upper Elementary groups. Parents: there will be an orientation in Fellowship Hall during the education hour Sunday, September 18th.
Summer Sunday School (JUNE – AUGUST):
Children age 3-years old* through 2nd grade will be excused after the Children’s Sermon to attend Summer Sunday school. Children may be out on the playground (weather permitting) enjoying God’s creation but for the most part will be in the Choir room of the Sanctuary building. (*3-year olds must have participated in a preschool program.)
Kids’ Worship: ( SEPTEMBER – MAY)
Children and Worship is available to our *3 & 4-year old children. This worship is a multi-sensory approach to telling the stories of the Bible. They share prayer time, sing and respond to the story they hear by drawing and creating pictures. Once a month they have a “feast” as the church family celebrates Communion. (*3 year olds must currently be in a 3-year old preschool program)
Kidz Worship is available for our kindergarten through 3rd grader. This is a worship experience for children that is similar to the worship service for the adults. The outline in the worship guide is the same for the children. The difference is we will be learning about topics that are not typically covered in traditional Sunday School. We will be learning about the Sanctuary and all the parts and places of each element of worship. Each element will be explored by the children in a variety of ways over four-week periods in which crafts, music, cooking, art and motions will be used to help the children understand and remember what they are learning about the worship of God.
