Elementary Bible Presentation 2025
Each year at Germantown UMC, our third graders are recognized during a Sunday morning worship. This year, we are including any 3rd through 5th grader that has not already received a Bible during worship. We have a lot of new families with older kids, and we want to make sure they can participate in this time-honored tradition. If your child already received a Bible, please disregard this email. This year, children will receive their Bibles on Sunday, September 28, 2025.
Please arrange your schedule to make sure your child is present for this very special step in his or her Christian education. If your child is unable to be present on the 28th to receive a Bible, he or she may receive it later or during Sunday School.
Names will be listed in the bulletin and Bibles prepared as indicated by your completion of this form. It is very important that we hear from you by August 20, as there is a long lead time for imprinting. Please complete the form below by August 20:
We will also be having a special Elementary Bible Retreat on Friday, September 26 from 6:00-9:00 pm at the church.
Online registration for this retreat can be completed by clicking HERE
On Sunday, September 28th, your child should arrive no later than 15 minutes before the start of the worship service.
For traditional services: Please meet Hayley on the ramp outside the Sanctuary. We will line the children up in alphabetical order before the service. Children will be sitting on the front pews/rows until they receive their Bibles, after which they will join their families for the remainder of the service. Families may sit anywhere in the sanctuary. Please make sure your children know where to find you.
For Prism: Please meet Hayley at the front of the gym by the stage 10 minutes before the service begins. Children will be sitting on the front rows until they receive their Bible, after which they will join their families for the remainder of the service. Please make sure your children know where to find you.
Thank you for sharing this special time in your child’s spiritual development. We are looking forward to a wonderful fall with your kids. Please do not hesitate to reach out if you have questions.
