Attention Parents: Info on December 28th's Kids Gathering

On Sunday, December 28, we’re giving our amazing Kids Team a much-needed day of rest after a full and joyful Christmas season. Because of this, there will be no Kids Gathering at 9:00am.

At 10:40am, Kids Gathering is ON with a fun twist!
• Pre-K kids will enjoy a special morning in the nursery—trust us, they love returning to their favorite toys and cozy space.
• Kindergarten–5th grade will come together in the FLC for one epic, fun-filled combined gathering.

Check in as usual and drop off at the locations noted above. We can’t wait to wrap up the year with your kids!

Current Series: Get Reel

Get Reel: Get ready to move and groove through the greatest story ever told! During “Get Reel,” kids will create motions and dance moves that help tell the Bible stories leading up to and through the birth of Jesus. When the story is finished, they’ll put their moves together and add music to make a “reel” (short video) of their routine. As they step, spin, and shake to the music, kids will discover the “reel” story of Christmas, and they’ll see how God’s plan of redemption unfolded, leading to the greatest gift of all — Jesus!
