Learning Together.
We would love for your kids to be a part of RUMC Kids! We welcome you to a fun and safe place for kids and families to learn how to love God and follow Jesus.
Sunday Mornings
First time guests, we welcome your kids in ‘big’ worship and worship for kids, whichever works best for your family! If they choose to attend Wiggle Worship, just make sure we have contact info so we can safely care for your child.

Worship activity bags are provided for kids containing children’s bulletins, activity supplies and a snack. Nursery is available for birth through preschool ages. Families begin worship together, with a Wiggle Worship option designed for younger kids. Prior to the sermon, Wiggle Worshipers are invited to meet at the back of the sanctuary then head to the children’s hall for some hands on activities and worship.
Adult, youth and children’s small groups gather during this hour. Nursery is available for preschool and younger.

Serve one another humbly in love.
Galatians 5:13
As a community of faith, we serve one another. There are ways that adults and kids can serve each week. Adults serve as nursery support, Sunday school teachers, Wiggle Worship shepherds, greeters, and hospitality providers among many other things. Kids can serve too as Acolytes, greeters, tech support for kids and many other opportunities along the way.
