Vacation Bible School
July 28 - August 1, 2025
9:00 - 12:30
Shenendehowa UMC is excited to be hosting Vacation Bible School, themed "Scuba", this summer!
Dive Below the Surface to Build a Strong Faith. Take kids deep into an amazing undersea adventure where they’ll experience the ever-flowing, never-ending love of God. At Scuba VBS, kids will be immersed in the Word and discover what living water is really all about! This free program is available to children ages 5 - Grade 5 and will be run at 971 Route 146 in Clifton Park.
Volunteers are needed to be Crew Leaders (adult and high school students), Registration Helpers and Snack Helpers. No experience is ever needed! Thank you so much for serving God by teaching the children in our church and community about Jesus!
SHEN KIDS - Sunday School
9:00 Service
Have kids? No worries, we've got you covered. Shen UMC offers programs for kids who are six weeks old through 5th grade. Your children will be in a safe environment where they will learn about Jesus and have a fun time doing it.
If your kids are 3 years old through 5th grade, then they come to worship with us in the sanctuary. After the opening worship, kids are invited to remain in the sanctuary for worship or attend ShenKids Sunday School. The Nursery opens 8:45am. You can save some time by pre-registering your child below.
Don't worry if your children cry during the service or if they feel energetic, we love to worship with them!
YOUR FIRST VISIT
Visiting us for the first time? No fear! Our friendly greeters will show where the Sunday School rooms are and how to register your child if you haven't aleady.
SAFETY
Volunteers for Shen Kids are trained to create an atmosphere where families can confidently leave their children while they are in service. Every volunteer is screened with a background check and the kids hallway is outfitted with security cameras for added peace of mind. Don't worry parents - we've got this!
WHAT WE TEACH
Your kids will experience an age appropriate lesson that will teach them about God and His love for them. The teaching is interactive and utilizes multiple approaches for different learning styles. The goal at Shen UMC is for kids to understand who Jesus is and how He can make a difference in their lives. They will also have a lot of fun!
