As we begin to return to normal operations, we understand a large factor for families is having a place for their children to connect with other children. At this time, we are rebuilding most ministries after being apart for a year — and this includes our children’s ministry. Currently, we are unable to offer full-scale children’s ministry in the form of classes but would like to create a space once a month for kids to get together, re-acclimate to group settings, and have fun!
KH SUMMER DAYS is NewSong’s summer program for our children’s ministry (Kingdom Heroes) that we’re offering once a month in June, July, and August on the 4th Sunday of the month. Our focus for these days will be opportunities of connection for kids by having fun together!
We understand there are different levels of comfort when it comes to safety measures concerning covid-19. We will not be requiring masks to be worn by kids during Summer Days. However, if you feel more comfortable with your child wearing theirs, we fully support your decision. We ask for your help in two ways: (1) reach out and communicate this to us and (2) communicate with your child so they know what to expect.
Our plan will be to have the event take place outdoors, but in the event of rain, we will move indoors.
Some details:
Ages: K5-5th Grade Where: NewSong Church, location on site dependent on weather When: June 27, July 25, August 22 Time: During Service (10:20-11:30A)
