At the Congregational Church of Manhasset, we have an exciting
children's ministry. Under the guidance of our Board of Christian
Education, we seek to raise our church's children as loving,
grace-filled and dedicated members of the Christian faith.
Sunday School
Resources
Each Sunday morning at 10 AM our children come
to morning worship in the sanctuary and then are
dismissed to go to the Sunday School assembly. In
the assembly, the children pray together and practice
music they sing in worship on our monthly Family
Sundays. Then the children go to their Sunday School
classes (Pre-K, K-1st, 2nd-3rd and 4th-5th). Class
time centers around a specific Bible story and craft activity.To find out more about the Sunday School curriculum we use check out Seasons of the Spirit.
Once a month, the children participate in a Helping Hands Project where they have an opportunity to reach out to others in our church, our community and around the world. In addition, the children give an offering every week that goes to sponsor a child in a developing country via Children International. Past Helping Hands Projects include:

Monthly, we have Family Sunday. On these days, the children sing in worship and have a special children's sermon just for them.
We also have regular activities just for children and their parents to have a little fun. Recent activities include: Advent Workshop (Christmas-themed crafts and games),
Valentine's Day party and the Christian Education Sunday
All-Church Picnic..
