🌟 Join Us for Half-Day Hooray! 🌟

Children in grades K-5 are invited to explore the themes of God’s mercy, obedience, and trusting His plan through stories like Jonah and the Whale, and Joshua and the Wall of Jericho. Kids will dive into engaging Bible lessons, meaningful discussions, and hands-on activities that bring faith to life. Don’t miss this special opportunity to grow in God’s word!

Our program provides a safe, engaging, and enriching environment for children during school district half-days. We balance physical activity, social interaction, and creative expression in a religious setting.

Schedule:

• 12:30 p.m. Drop off at the main lobby.
• 12:30 p.m. – 1:00 p.m. Lunch (30 min): A nutritious lunch will be provided from a preset menu, considering any allergies or dietary needs. All kids will help clean up the dining room, putting it back to its original state.
• 1:15 p.m. – 2:00 p.m. Bible Study (45 min): After settling in and having lunch, kids will gather for Bible study. This time will include interactive lessons, followed by a closing prayer.
• 2:05 p.m. – 2:50 p.m. Gym Time (45 min): Engaging in fun, organized physical activities like basketball, dodgeball, relay races, capture the flag, or creative challenges such as tower building with materials.
• 2:55 p.m. – 3:25 p.m. Music (30 min): Led by a designated volunteer, kids will enjoy learning and singing age-appropriate religious songs, perfect for performing in front of the congregation.
• 3:30 p.m. – 4:00 p.m. Craft Time (30 min): A creative session featuring arts and crafts, including drawing or hands-on projects that tie into the Bible lesson of the day.
• 4:00 p.m. Pickup promptly in the third-floor classroom.

This schedule offers a well-rounded mix of physical, artistic, and spiritual activities, catering to various interests and ensuring an enriching experience for all kids.

We ensure there are at least two adults present at all times to adhere to child safety policies and walk the kids to and from each activity. All volunteers are background checked.

This program offers a safe, structured environment where kids can have fun, build friendships, and engage in meaningful activities. It also provides parents with a reliable childcare option during school half-days. Parents are welcome to stay with their child if needed.

We hope you can join us and look forward to seeing you!

FAQs

• Is it open to anyone?
  Yes, absolutely! We will be teaching morals and values to children based on lighthearted Bible teachings. Specifically, I will be using the VeggieTales curriculum to make the lessons easy to understand and fun for the kids!
• What ages is it for?
  The program is for K-5th grade children.  If middle schoolers are interested in volunteering, they are more than welcome! They can help with a variety of tasks, including assisting the younger kids in the gym, music, and craft activities, as well as serving lunch!
• Does it cost money?
  No, this year we are offering the program for free. In the future, depending on volunteer availability and interest from parents, there may be a small charge, but for now, it’s completely free!
• I have a child with serious allergies. Can you accommodate that?
  While we may not be large enough as a program to fully support every specific allergy, we encourage you to attend and bring any necessary items for your child. For those with dietary restrictions, we recommend that parents pack a lunch for their child to ensure their safety and comfort.
