MUSIC

Wednesday: 6:00 p.m. on the fifth floor
August - December: Preschoolers
January - May: Children

Music for elementary aged children is a midweek activity beginning in January and culminating in May with an exciting musical production. It is full of age-appropriate musical and spiritual training. Our children enjoy fun with instruments, musical games, as well as learn praise and worship songs to share in church worship services several times each year. Children may also audition for Young Ringers, a children's handbell ensemble. This group is featured in several worship services.

MISSIONS

Wednesday: 6:00 p.m. on the fifth floor
August - December: Children
January - May: Preschoolers

Missions provides midweek fun and discipleship where children are exposed to a world outside their own. Children are actively involved in learning about people groups around the world, their cultures, and their need to know Jesus. Bible verses are taught and applied to develop understanding of how God uses us as "missionaries" to share the love of Christ.

AWANA

Sunday: 6:00 p.m. in CLC on first floor
AWANA stands for Approved Workmen Are Not Ashamed. It is an exciting program combining Bible Study, scripture memory, and active games with children. Excitement fills the air as children earn achievement based awards and learn to share achievements with others.

BIBLE DRILL

Children's Bible Drill for 4th - 6th graders is designed to help children develop skills in using the Bible. Its purpose is to increase their knowledge of the Bible as well as to learn and memorize scripture. More than anything they will learn what it means to apply God's Word to their lives.

SUMMER CAMP

July 18-21, 2011
Growing children means lots of fun and play. Each summer camp is an action packed week of intense fun and spiritual growth while enjoying the beauty God has created. Purposely planned activities including outdoor games, crafts, skits, water play, and goofy games enhance learning and growth as God designed. Fellowship, discipleship, and outreach opportunities play important roles in this wonderful adventure.
