What’s up this Summer on Sundays and Wednesdays????
The Ministry Format for our youngest ones…”First Steps” and “Live Wires” is consistent year-round. Consistency blesses and nurtures these age groups.
We do like to mix things up a bit for “Celebration Station,” “Adventure Zone,” JAM “34″ and JAM “56.” Below, you’ll see the Summer Experiences that are being offered on Sundays and Wednesdays for those age groups.
