Sunday School is in person with Miss Anne who has been with our church for almost 20 years, and is also the Director of the Early Childhood Center. Children will be checked in at the front of the Main Sanctuary, and participate in Bible lessons and fun activities.
Nursery Service (Sunday 9:30 & 11 AM)
Ages: 0-2 years old
Miss Dawn has worked in the First Methodist Church of Oviedo Nursery for over thirty years. She and her capable staff and volunteers are waiting with loving arms for your little one. Pagers are available for parents to be alerted if the child needs anything.
Is there a way for my children to remain with me during worship?
We love having children in our sanctuary during worship! If your child needs to release some energy, our Wiggle Room, located at the back of the main sanctuary, offers a fantastic space with a view of the service and plenty of fun activities for kids. It’s available for parents who feel their children might need a little extra engagement while attending worship.
