Smoky Hill loves being known as a family centered church and we are blessed to have many children, families, and youth attending services each week. The curriculum is different so children may attend both sessions. We offer many child-friendly events throughout the year and encourage families to become part of our faith family at Smoky Hill.

Super Bowl Sunday School is happening on Feb. 5, 2012. Kick-off will be at 10am during Sunday School. Classes will be reviewing what they have learned so far through games, contests and of course, a football game. Football fans in the SHUMC congregation are encouraged to help with the pre-game preparations. Special Game Day snacks are needed! Parents: please contact your child’s Sunday School teacher for more information.

Undie Sunday is Feb. 13th
The Children and Family Ministries team is collecting new children’s underwear and socks for needy children at local elementary schools. Last year we were able to donate to seven schools in Arapahoe and Adams counties. Please place new socks and underwear for children in the large box by the display in the Gathering Space. Thanks for your support!
