Meet our new Children's Ministry Director

Suzanne Vierling started in August as our new Children’s Ministry Director. Suzanne previously worked at Mandarin in 2002 and 2003 as the Contributions and Membership Secretary. Most recently she was at Avondale United Methodist Church for four years where she started and led their Children’s Ministry. Married to husband Jack for eleven years, they have been members at MUMC for almost nine years. Jack continues to work at CSX and loves being part of the railroad. They have been blessed with two beautiful children, Jacob who is four and Mara who just turned two. Jacob and Mara will be attending our Learning Ladders preschool this fall. Suzanne and Jack both said, “We are so happy to be back home with our church family.” And we’re delighted to have them back!

Our Children’s Ministry has a new name!

. . . KIDS G.I.G. You may be wondering what this means. At MUMC we are committed to help our children Grow In God. Your child can get involved within the church and Grow In God by participating in a variety of activities. Come check us out and ask “How can I be a part of Kids G.I.G.?"

Parents and Guardians, please make sure to fill out a 2007-2008 registration sheet and survey for the upcoming year. It is very important to update information for Children’s Ministry records. You will find this form in the church office, children’s small group classrooms, and children’s ministry office. Please return the form as soon as possible to the Children’s Ministry office.

Calling all three year olds to 2nd graders to Live B.I.G. on Sunday mornings at 11:00 a.m. Children are invited to leave the worship service after the children’s sermon in order to learn about their Belief In God. Parents can pick up their children in the Annex after the worship service.
