KidsConnect & WeeConnect

9:30 - 10:40 am

Children will begin the morning in the worship service with their families. Then, after they are invited up for the children's time in the sanctuary, they will be dismissed to leave with their classes to meet in the Heckert Education Center. All classes will begin our gathered time downstairs in the large gathering area to watch the Bible story unfold (in true storyteller fashion) and then wonder about the story and what it means for them. They will then break into their age-specific classroom time for "Sads & Glads" prayer time and small group response activities. They will explore God's word using the Celebrate Wonder Curriculum. Contact Jill Reichert if you'd like more information on the curriculum or have questions about what your child will experience with us.  Please meet your children after class at 10:40 am in these classrooms:

K-1 - Room 102   

Grades 2 & 3 - Room 105  

Grades 4 & 5 - Room 406
