2026 Palm Sunday Service and Gather and Grow Egg Hunt
See below for our weekly update on what we are learning in our Children’s Ministry at church.
Nursery (Infants - 3s)
The youngest among us are warmly welcomed at East Cobb Presbyterian Church! We offer nurseries for infants through age 3 during the Sunday morning worship service. Children may be dropped off beginning at 10:15 a.m. We know that when you understand your kids are being lovingly cared for, you can focus your hearts and minds more fully on corporate worship. If your infant will be joining you in the worship service, we have an Infant Care Room available at the rear of the sanctuary if you would like some privacy to feed or care for your child.
Gospel Kids
During the school year, our Sunday morning program for students in pre-k (4yrs old by Sept 1) through 5th grade provides an opportunity for your kids to worship and learn alongside their peers in fun and engaging ways. We encourage our families to go to worship together at 10:30am, and then children are invited to join us for Gospel Kids during the offering (around 10:45am).
This program runs from August - May.
Foundations
Fourth and Fifth graders learn why the gospel is relevant to their lives, are equipped to identify the lies of our culture and counter them with truth, and get answers to tough questions about the Christian faith in the safe and loving context of our Foundations discipleship class. These lessons will take them beyond a head knowledge of the gospel and challenge them to think deeply about what the truth of the Scripture and the person and work of Jesus means for their lives.
This program runs from August - April.
WHAT WE’RE LEARNING THIS WEEK
Gospel Kids - This week our children will read about the second miraculous catch where he enforces the message that those who belong to the Lord will be sustained by him. When Jesus called Peter, James, and John to follow him, he demonstrated his power by a miraculous catch of fish (Luke 5:1–11). Jesus demonstrated his power again to the disciples through a second miraculous catch of fish. John concluded his gospel at the end of this story with a declaration that all he wrote was true regarding the ministry of Christ, the death of Christ, the resurrection of Christ, and even the appearing of Jesus on the shores of Galilee, where he cooked the disciples a breakfast of fish. When Jesus tells Peter to “follow me” at the second miraculous catch of fish, he is restoring Peter to the same call he first gave to him. That is an indication that Peter is forgiven for denying Christ on the eve of his crucifixion.
Foundations - This week our class will be able to summarize what Christians should know genres mixing in the Bible. Sometimes genres in the Bible will mix. Many books contain more than one genre. Sometimes a single chapter will have more than one genre within it. The class will look at Jeremiah 25 and 26 and see that these two chapters contain prophecy and history. They will also look at Luke chapter 1 and see that it has sections of biography, wisdom and prophecy.
TRUTH MADE KNOWN CATECHISM STUDY
We will learn one new question a month.
BIBLE VERSE
Our Bible Verse for this unit is the Beatitudes. We will learn a new portion each month.
We are celebrating the end of our Foundations curriculum for the year. For our 5th graders, this means they will be joining Student Ministries. This pizza party is a way for us to thank our students and teachers! Please register so we know how much pizza to order.
Each year we recognize and celebrate our covenant children’s growth as they mature into independent readers of God’s Word by presenting a Bible to all of our first-grade students. Please click the image above to register your child. The Bibles are a gift from Children’s Ministry.
Breakaway registration is now open! Please click the image to register. If you’re interested in volunteering for Breakaway this year, please CLICK HERE to let us know your areas of interest. Volunteers will receive a discount for their campers - contact Children’s Ministry for the code.
Summer Discipleship
During the summer months, our students who are finishing PreK rising 3rd grade are invited to join us for our summer discipleship program during the worship service. We encourage our families to go to worship together at 10:30am, and then children are invited to join us for Gospel Kids during the offering (around 10:45am). Students who are finishing up 4th and 5th grades join us for the full worship service.
This program runs from June 1 — July 29.
TINY SYSTEMATICS WORKBOOK
This workbook is designed for ages 5-12, and we recommend it as a helpful resource for our rising fourth and fifth graders who are worshipping alongside us on Sundays this summer. We have a limited number of workbooks available. You can pick up your copy from the Children's Ministries office at East Cobb Presbyterian Church after purchase.
From the publisher: Each lesson in this 95+ page workbook is designed to teach your child rich, biblical theology in an engaging way. Alongside each section of teaching is an activity to engage them in the process as they learn more of who God is through studying his Word. And each day has a Memory Challenge in which they are encouraged to recall a simple concept in response to that day's lesson. Read more here.
