G.L.O.W. (God Lights Our World)
G.L.O.W. is Buford First UMC’s children’s music and Christian education program for children ages three through 5th grad. The program runs during the school year (September – April) on Sunday evenings from 5:30 – 7 p.m. G.L.O.W. is a three-part program that includes Bible story, craft, music, and recreation. The children are divided into three age groups: three- and four-year-olds, kindergarten through 2nd grade, and 3rd through 5th grade. Each age group rotates through each activity, and the night ends with all the groups in recreation.
