Dear Congregation of Cushing FUMC,
Many of you may know me, but for those of you who don't my name is Madison Boyle, and I am excited to say that I have accepted a position as the children's director! I am a life-long member of this congregation and I am excited to serve in this way. I am currently a student at Oklahoma State University in Stillwater studying marketing and nonprofit management. I am excited to get to know each of your kids and help them to develop their faith and teach them the fundamentals of living a life for Christ! I hope to build this program up to the potential I know it has, but I will need your help as parents to get kids here and invite friends that lack a church home. Get ready, exciting things are about to happen!! |

VBS
Each year we invite the children of the community to come learn more about God with us for a week. This is a very exciting time in our church. The church is full of children, youth and adult volunteers that are excited about a week of fun and fellowship. The kids learn daily Bible messages through music, Bible dramas, crafts, games and snacks. We have a closing dinner and program on Friday night that lets parents, grandparents and friends see what the children have been learning all week.

Christian Education

Handbells
The children love to play in the bell choir. No experience or practice is needed. The children play from color coded cards that match the color of the bell they are playing. The children play the handbells on occasion in both the Traditions and Ignite Services. All children are encouraged to participate.

Family Fun
As a church, we are committed to the preservation and the building up of the family. Throughout the year, we have activities that include the entire family. Some of the family activites we have are an Easter Egg Hunt, Summer Swim Party and Cookout, and a fall hayride with a hotdog cookout, fishing, games and pumpkin decorating. Sometimes we have movie night, go bowling or skating. Beacuse of these times together, great friendships develop.
