BIG IDEA: We can spend time with God.
OVERVIEW: If you’re a grown-up and you’ve been following Jesus for a while, you’ve probably figured out a few ways to grow spiritually. The kids you’re parenting or leading, on the other hand, aren’t grown-ups, so they might need a little help from you to figure out how, exactly, to grow spiritually. So what should spiritual growth look like for a kid? We like to think about it in terms of four spiritual habits. To help a kid grow spiritually, teach them to spend time with God, spend time with others, use their gifts, and share their story. These are the four keys to discipleship that will help kids launch a lifelong, growing faith. |
We’re kicking off a brand new series in our children’s ministry called Blast Off. It will help kids learn four spiritual habits that will help them grow in their faith. We’re going to have a blast learning and growing together!

Although the Sunday School curriculum does take a summer break, there are still plenty of opportunities for your children to enjoy the summer Sonshine of Grace. Here’s some of the Summer Stuff we’ve got planned.
Vacation Bible School
VBS is one week each summer and it’s filled with creative ways to learn about God’s word. Your kids will enjoy Bible storytelling, crafts and games, science projects and mission projects as well as music and a puppet. Plan to include Grace VBS as a part of your summer activities. 
Summer Church Camp
Church Camps are available to children of all ages. Whether it is a day camp for younger kids, a week-long camp for older kids, or camp for the whole family, summer church camp is a great way to spend some time getting to know Jesus better. Camperships are available. |
