Worship Exploration
This hands-on experience is offered to encourage young children's participation in and understanding of worship while guiding them in their own worship experience.
On the second and fourth Sundays of each month during both worship services, leaders guide the children in exploring worship during the “Children’s Time." In addition, children five years of age, as well as those in kindergarten and first grade, may attend the Worship Exploration in room 108 downstairs. During the enrichment time, children leave the sanctuary with the leaders to encounter and praise God in a setting created just for them. |

Faith in Action Mission Day Camp
Faith in Action Mission Day Camp is a summer ministry for children that have completed first through fifth grades, and it takes place right here at Tinkling Spring! In five action packed days children will have an opportunity to serve their community through service projects and enjoy growing in their faith!
Children will learn how they can make a difference, not just during camp, but every day of their lives as they take Jesus’ love and kindness into their relationships with others. In addition to providing morning service projects, the day camp will offer singing and worship, stories from God’s Word, recreation, crafts, and cooking. Come join us as we have a great time serving the Lord! In 2012, we are excited to offer two incredible opportunities to choose from. July 9-13 or July 30-August 3. Choose the camp session that works best for your family.

Children at the Lord’s Supper Class
In this hands-on class, parents and children will explore together the meaning and importance of the Lord's supper. The meaning and importance of the Lord’s Supper is more than we can grasp through words alone. It is no wonder that we approach the preparation of our children for the Lord’s Table very seriously. As a family of faith, we seek to provide the means of education and ongoing nurture for children and their families in preparing for participation in the Lord’s Supper.
Children in second-fifth grade are invited to participate in the Children at the Lord’s Supper Class. Download the 2011 Brochure & Parent Letter.

Confirmation Class
A Confirmation class is provided for the eighth grade students to prepare them to become new members of the church. The class meets from September through May during the Sunday school hour and is taught by Harriet Thompson and April Cranford. All students are matched with a present or former elder to be their covenant partner. Students and their covenant partners enjoy various mission and social gathering throughout the year. In their year together, class members learn what they believe about God, Jesus Christ, The Holy Spirit, original sin, eternal life, the church, mission, stewardship, spiritual gifts, and how to live out their faith. On the last Sunday of the class, at the 11:00 a.m. worship service, the participants celebrate the confirmation of their faith in Jesus Christ and become active members of Tinkling Spring Presbyterian Church.
2012 Confirmation Class runs from October 3 through June 3
Join the Confirmation class on their 31 Day Jesus Challenge. Read the Bible and a devotion each day which takes less than 5 minutes of your day. Reflect on the readings on how to apply them to your life. Download the pdf devotional here.
