Kids’ Kingdom Christian Formation is for youth in grades 1-5. Classes will resume on January 7, 2024. Our lessons this spring will begin with a study of Epiphany, and followed by a study of John the Baptist and then Holy Week.  The goal each week is to provide the students with the scripture and a lesson that has application to their daily lives. The accompanying activities are designed to be interesting, stimulating and something that will help the children remember and internalize the Bible story.  Activities this early spring will include making sachet packets, honey bug snacks, origami doves, alleluia banners, a pep rally for Jesus, baking unleavened bread and making prayer beads.  Kids’ Kingdom operates on a rotation basis with two adults always present.  This spring we are fortunate to have Mary Anne Helms, Helen Tanner, Ruthie Hurta, Melissa Hamon and Kathy Barzilla.  This program would not be possible without their time.  Please contact Chris Abbott with any questions about the Kids’ Kingdom program.
