Crosswalk
2011-2012
Crosswalk will resume on Wednesday, January 25, 2012!
The Crosswalk Program at Jacksonville First United Methodist Church has been designed to provide children ages Pre- K (4 years old) through 6th grade in the church and community a safe place to come on Wednesday afternoons after school to grow in their walk with God. The children in the Crosswalk Program are divided into four groups that rotate to three different stations during the afternoon. The three stations include Devotional, Psalm 150, and an Activity Station.

*Devotional Time
This year we will continue to use the curriculum called The Kitchen. This is a very high energy curriculum and will allow the children to experience God's Word through various activities, object lessons, videos, and discussions. This curriculum also comes with an additional component called "The Kitchen Table." This pamphlet will be sent home each week with the children and will provide you, the parent, an outline of that week's Bible Story along with activities and talking points you can do as a family...around the kitchen table.
*Activity Time
Each week there will be a different activity time to Bible story or current holiday. Some of the activities your
child will be participating in are: arts and crafts, cooking experiences, related movies, science experiments, games, and service/ mission projects.
*Psalm 150
Each week the children will rotate to Psalm 150 where they will learn songs that correlate to the Bible lessons of th week or an upcoming holiday. In Psalm 150 the children will learn to praise God through praise and worship style music.

Crosswalk Mission Focus
We feel that it is important to teach our children about reaching out into the community and helping others. Each month during Crosswalk we will have a different Mission Project. Please help to encourage your child the importance of helping others and to participate in our mission projects.

Crosswalk Arrival
If your child attends Kitty Stone Elementary School they will meet in the library and will be walked to JFUMC from Kitty Stone Elementary each Wednesday by a representative of JFUMC Crosswalk Program. JFUMC will need to have a Crosswalk Confirmation Form filled out in order for your child to be picked up on Wednesdays. JFUMC will ensure a copy of the release is on file at Kitty Stone. If there is a week that your child will not be attending Crosswalk please contact Mrs. Stacie to eliminate any confusion. Thank you.
This includes the Kids 1st After School Program.
If your child will be attending Crosswalk but does not attend either Kitty Stone Elementary School or Kids 1st Elementary Program, drop off time is at 3:15 in the lobby of the MAC at JFUMC.
Check-Out
The Check-Out table will be located in the MAC lobby. Please go to this table to check out your child each week.
(Note- Kids 1st Parents: You will need to come to this table, NOT your child's classroom to check out your child)
Due to the importance of the learning time for the children to grow in their walk of faith, we ask that you respect our scheduled pick up times listed below:
Pick Up 1- 4:10- 4:25
Pick Up 2- 4:45- 5:00
Pick Up 3- 5:20- 5:30
We are sorry for any inconvenience but we hope that you understand that since this is a very busy time of day, we are trying to limit the distractions in and out of the classrooms so that the children and the teachers can focus on the lessons being taught.
If you have an emergency please contact Mrs. Stacie or see the representative at the Check Out table.
