Flight 456 is AUMC’s Ministry for Tweens. The purpose of this ministry is for all 4^th, 5^th and 6^th graders to come to know Jesus and His love and learn to follow Him. The children will have an opportunity to do this in Sunday School, Grapple and other special activities planned throughout the year. 

Sunday School

Every Sunday morning we meet in room A208 for Sunday School at 9:30 and 11:00. We start the hour off with snack and assembly, where we learn the Bible lesson for the day. Each class goes to a workshop such as art, cooking, science, games, drama, movies or computer after assembly. In each workshop, the children will have the opportunity to learn and experience the Bible lesson with a “hands on” activity. We wrap up each Sunday School hour with small group time. During this time, the shepherd (teacher) shows the children how the Bible lesson is applicable to them right now.  For information call Michelle Stearns at 559-9003.
