Jesus said, "Let the little children come to me..."

Matthew 19:14

TREK

MAY KIDS CONNECTION THEME

Some people think when you have faith, nothing bad will happen to you. However, this is not the case. When we have that mindset and something bad does happen to us, we blame God and think he caused it. Nevertheless, faith can help give you hope and perseverance when something bad does happen.

This month at Kids Connection, we will hear stories about people in the Bible who were going through some tough times AND showed us how we can have faith and perseverance during those hard times! The last day of Kids Connection for this school year is May 31. Be on the lookout for family events throughout the summer! 

Your child can be a part of
Kids Connection on Sunday mornings.

Kids Connection is the Sunday morning programming for children age 3 through 5th grade and runs from September through May.

It is a caring and welcoming space for kids to come to each week. See the procedures below to help maintain a safe and healthy environment.
  1. Check-in at the Kids Connection Check-in station prior to the service at 10 a.m.
  2. Once checked-in, find a spot to sit in the sanctuary with your household.
  3. Shortly into the service, kids will be invited up for a kid's message.
  4. After the kid's message, kids are dismissed to Kids Connection. They will follow leaders to the Ministry Center (located all the way down the stairs).
  5. During the first 10-15 minutes of Kids Connection, all kids will be together and will hear the Bible story or lesson that is the focus for the week.
  6. Following the story, kids will do age appropriate application activities. We use a variety of application activities to increase the chance that the lesson sticks for everyone. This could include games, crafts, music, or more discussion-based activity.
  7. Kids Connection concludes at 11 am. Parents and guardians can pick up their kids in the Ministry Center. If the service finishes before 11, adults are asked to enjoy a cup of coffee, snack, or conversation in Fellowship Hall until Kids Connection concludes. 
We look forward to gathering and providing a safe and welcoming environment for your children! Contact Chelsea, our Family Ministry Coordinator, if you have any questions about Kids Connection.
