Children’s Sunday school for All Ages
Classes meet on the second floor each Sunday beginning at 9:30 and ending at 10:40 a.m. for children ages 2 through 6 grade.
Experienced teachers working in tandem provide an enriching
experience of Jesus’ love for all people, especially children.
The curriculum is United Methodist and designed for children to
hear the Bible in ways they can understand.
At First Church there are two goals for Sunday school:
one, that each child will experience God’s love and two,
they will thereby know they are a child of God.
For more information or questions on Children's Sunday school, call
Caroline Noll 972-272-3471 or email at cnoll@fumcgarland.org.

Childcare during worship is available on the 2nd Floor.

Sixth Grade Confirmation
The sixth grade Sunday school serves as the Confirmation class for boys and girls 12-13 years of age. The class begins in August with the school year and concludes in May. During the year students learn what it means to be
a disciple of Jesus Christ and about becoming a United Methodist.
A variety of interesting field trips are planned including a visit to Temple Emanu-el,
a Sunday morning trip to St Luke’s Community church to be part
of the African American style of worship, a visit to a Roman
Catholic Church and, in the spring, activities that begin the
transition into youth fellowship.
Pastors and staff participate by teaching monthly segments of
the curriculum entitled “Claim the Name”, developed by the
United Methodist Publishing house and written by Dallas minister
Reverend Walt Marcum. The high point of the class is reached two weeks after Easter when students are offered the opportunity to become members of Christ’s Church and United Methodist.
For more information or questions on Confirmation, call
Caroline Noll 972-272-3471 or email at
