Waiting in line, waiting for an exciting event or vacation, waiting until after dinner to eat a yummy dessert or waiting for food to finish cooking so you can eat. Whatever kind of waiting you are doing, it all takes patience. Patience is waiting until later for something you want now. Whether it’s big or small, every day we seem to be waiting for something. Which means we need to practice patience every day too.

All April long at Kids Connection, we will be hearing stories and verses from the Bible about patience and people who had to practice patience even when they had to wait a long time. We will learn that God not only has a plan while we wait but he will also teach us something through our waiting.

Not ready for an overnight camp or want double the camp fun? Counselors from Green Lake will be coming to All Saints to lead Day Camp on June 10-13. Day Camp is a great way for kids to get introduced to camp. Kids will learn camp songs, play games (including a water day), do crafts, learn Bible stories, and more!

Any children age 3 through 5th grade can join us for day camp. Day camp is from 9am – 2pm every day. The cost $140 per camper.

Believe it or not, it’s time to start planning for summer! Green Lake offers lots of fun activities for kids of all ages such as: Gaga ball, air square, swimming and beach fun, hiking, biking, paddle boarding, kayaking, campfires, games, crafts and more. Not only is camp an amazing way to get outside and enjoy God’s creation, at Green Lake kids also learn awesome lessons and Bible Stories all week long.

Camp registration is now open to all. All Saints will be going during week 3 of camp (June 23-27).

Register here. Make sure you select All Saints when prompted on church affiliation. Find a brochure at the family ministry board or contact the church office with questions.

Kids Connection is our Sunday morning programming for children age 3 through 5th grade and runs from September through May.

We gather and provide a caring and welcoming space for our kids to come to each week.
See our procedures below to help maintain a safe and healthy environment.

• Kids Connection starts at the same time as worship (10 am) and begins in the Ministry Center all the way down the stairs.
• Parents drop off and pick up kids from the Ministry Center.
• On the last Sunday of each month, instead of meeting at Kids Connection, we invite families to attend worship together where we'll listen to a special Kids Message.
• As we've all become accustomed, if you or your child are experiencing COVID-related symptoms, we will ask you to remain at home for the designated quarantine period.
   

We look forward to gathering and providing a safe and welcoming environment for our families! Contact us for information about Kids Connection.
