Quiet Bags
Quiet Bags with books, coloring books, stickers and quiet toys are the perfect way for children ages 1-7 to keep busy with their hands while in service. Grab a bag on your way into church and just return it on your way out!

Cry Room
Bethlehem also has a small cry room area for parents of young children to participate in the service while caring for their little ones; the Cry Room includes a diaper changing room with a sink and Koala Kare changing station, extra diapers (in case you run out!), and a First Aid Station. Various toys are available to keep your child engaged and busy. The audio level from the service can be turned up or down by using the black knob on the back wall. If you are unable to hear audio, please contact an elder or someone in the tech booth, and we will fix it as soon as possible!

Sunday School
In Sunday School, kids will learn about God’s Word through a lesson, games, crafts, and other activities. Children ages PreK through 4th grade are welcome to attend. They will be dismissed from our 9:00 AM service after the children’s message (around 9:20/30 am), and they can be picked up from the lower level immediately following the service. The fastest way to the lower level is through the door on the northwest corner (near the Weiss St. church doors) of the church interior and down the stairs.
For families who desire to have their children remain in the worship service, we have Quiet Bags (bags filled with activities and objects for children to interact with) available in the narthex. We also have a cry room/nursery area in the back corner of the church which includes a bathroom and changing station.
Sunday school will run through the end of May, break for the summer, and resume again in the fall. Children are welcome to come whenever they attend church, but if able, please sign your child up beforehand at the following link here. It will help us plan our lessons!
If you are interested in volunteering as an adult or a student 5th grade and above, please contact Annelise Holcomb at arholcomb@bethlehemsaginaw.org.

Our youth ministry (6th-12th grades) meets during the school year for activities and devotional/Bible study. The youth group also participates in other fun activities like service events, Christian concerts, summer trips and retreats.
