Children’s Mid-week Program

The Children’s Midweek Program is for children from Kindergarten through 5th grade. The program includes worship skills, bible study, recreation, and family dinner. There are three sessions throughout the school year – one in the fall, one during the season of Advent, and one during the season of Lent. The program runs on Wednesdays starting at 4:00 p.m. and ending at 6:00 p.m. The final Wednesday usually includes a family dinner from 6:00-7:00PM.

Worship Skills/Choir — Worship is the center of our life together as a Christian community. Here they will learn about Worship and prepare to lead and participate in the Sunday morning service. Choir is a mandatory part of the program and children are required to sing during worship.

Bible Study — Bible study is the time when we have the opportunity to share God’s word with our children.

Recreation — Play allows young people to experience great fun at the expense of no one else. They participate in games & active play or arts & crafts. When we reveal ourselves in play, we strengthen friendships.

Dinner — Family Time provides a joyous, inter-generational celebration of personhood over a shared meal as young people experience being part of the family of God.  All parents and siblings are invited to join us for Family Time each month.  Family Time will begin at 6:00 p.m. and end at 7:00 p.m. on the last Wednesday of each program.
