CHILDREN
Faith @ Home
ONLINE
IN-PERSON KICKOFF: Sunday, September 13, 5:00 p.m. - 6:00 p.m.
You must sign up for both the kit and the event on Church Life.
You can sign up to receive a kit even if you will not be at the event.
We are providing families with resources to do faith at home. On September 13, we will have an outdoor, socially-distanced kickoff event for families with children 5th grade and under.
This will happen at the same time as the youth gathering. At the kickoff, you will receive your Faith at Home kit, learn how to use it, and have some socially-distanced fellowship with other families. The Faith at Home kit will have EVERYTHING you need for the remaining weeks in the month, and there will be an optional companion video that will guide you through the story and activities each week. The goal is for this to be as EASY and STRESS-FREE as possible for parents, while being engaging for kids.
