People say music is the universal language—something everyone loves in one form or another—and a way we can communicate shared emotion and experience even across generations, culture, location, backgrounds, and traditions. Much of what is expressed in the book of Psalm are things we experience and feel today. Because of that, we can learn a lot about God and ourselves in these Psalms. When kids ca...  Read More

For many kids, Easter goes hand-in-hand with chocolate farm animals and plastic eggs. It can be a real challenge to provide age-appropriate opportunities for them to engage with the story of Easter. Skip spending hours upon hours on Pinterest (only to find loads of egg and bunny activities!)— we've got something that speaks more deeply to the adventure found in Jesus' journey to the cross. Cue Eas...  Read More

Parents: We are planning a unique service in November—one that encourages our youngest readers to read the Bible. Since 2nd graders are reading independently, this is the perfect time to help them engage in the Book that will change their lives. As adults, most of us struggle with reading the Bible on a consistent basis. Our lives would probably be different if someone had helped us understand tha...  Read More

THANKS: A 4-Week Series During 10:30 AM Service“Thank you.” It’s one of the first phrases most of us learn to say, but it’s also one of the most difficult things to say and really mean!

After they escaped the land of Egypt, the Israelites spent forty years wandering through the wilderness on their way to the Prom...  Read More

Squish, boing, chomp, splat!  The only thing better than hearing these sounds is making them yourself!

Using their mouths, bodies and just about anything else they can fin...  Read More
