Our Program
Kids will have a great time playing with friends every Wednesday. SPARKS will begin at 3:00. Parents carpool to transport children from the schools. If there is a large group of kids coming from one school, a church bus pick-up will be arranged. Snacks will be provided as the kids enjoy free time. At 3:30, we will break into smaller groups for our Bible Chat, SPARKS choir, chimes, SPARKS ART and playground. Pickup is at 5:30.
Bible Chat
Mark 12:30-31 "You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind, and with all your strength." The second is this, “You shall love your neighbour as yourself. There is no other commandment greater than these.’
Our Bible Chats will be the time to focus on our Bible lesson for the week. Our first series of lessons will be BLESSED ARE YOU... a study of the Beatitudes.
Musical Opportunities
Our SPARKS choir will provide fun opportunities to prepare us for Sunday Morning Worship services, along with the special Christmas and Spring Musical productions. This year, we are pleased to offer both a 2nd/3rd Grade and 4th/5th Grade CHIMES choir where kids will learn to read music and play in an ensemble.
Both our SPARKS CHOIR & CHIMES will perform periodically in Sunday Morning Worship, as well as other opportunities in our community. Musical Productions and Christmas caroling will be a highlight for all!
SPARKS ART
Our Art projects area will be developed by Peggy Benton and Tamara Verheyen and will relate to our Bible lesson of the week. A SPARKS Mural is in the plan for this year!
