KID CONNECTION is a PS-5 program designed to meet the needs of the children of our congregation and the community. It is a program which makes learning biblical stories enjoyable, builds a sense of community for elementary students, and is highly relevant to today's kids. In short, it CONNECTS!
A typical session begins with snacks at 3:25 P.M. on Wednesdays, followed by music, Bible story, crafts, and games in a large group. Then kids gather in small groups to connect with their leaders and dive deeper into the lesson.
What is special about KID CONNECTION?
Connects kids to God with lessons that are thoroughly biblical and Reformed in their integration of head, heart, and hands.
Connects church to community through lessons that work in outreach ministries.
Kid Connection meets on Wednesday afternoons during the school year. The children are served a snack at 3:30-3:45. There is a large group story, singing, games, and small group time.
Note: If Hancock School has an early out for weather or PLCs, we will not meet.
