BLOCK PARTY
APRIL KIDS CONNECTION THEME
During Easter, we are reminded that a time that once was dark and sad was filled with joy again because Jesus rose from the dead. We celebrate and shout Halleluiah because of the amazing thing that happened on that Sunday morning. All month long at Kids Connection, we will be looking at the aftermath of when Jesus rose from the grave until he finally ascended to Heaven. We will see the disciples try to cope with the fact that Jesus won’t always be with them and learn how to find their purpose and joy beyond being friends with Jesus. Though Jesus is no longer here on Earth with us, we too can find out joy and purpose just like the disciples.
Your child can be a part of
Kids Connection on Sunday mornings.
Kids Connection is the Sunday morning programming for children age 3 through 5th grade and runs from September through May.
It is a caring and welcoming space for kids to come to each week. See the procedures below to help maintain a safe and healthy environment.

- Check-in at the Kids Connection Check-in station prior to the service at 10 a.m.
- Once checked-in, find a spot to sit in the sanctuary with your household.
- Shortly into the service, kids will be invited up for a kid's message.
- After the kid's message, kids are dismissed to Kids Connection. They will follow leaders to the Ministry Center (located all the way down the stairs).
- During the first 10-15 minutes of Kids Connection, all kids will be together and will hear the Bible story or lesson that is the focus for the week.
- Following the story, kids will do age appropriate application activities. We use a variety of application activities to increase the chance that the lesson sticks for everyone. This could include games, crafts, music, or more discussion-based activity.
- Kids Connection concludes at 11 am. Parents and guardians can pick up their kids in the Ministry Center. If the service finishes before 11, adults are asked to enjoy a cup of coffee, snack, or conversation in Fellowship Hall until Kids Connection concludes.
We look forward to gathering and providing a safe and welcoming environment for your children! Contact Chelsea, our Family Ministry Coordinator, if you have any questions about Kids Connection.
