Crosswired - large group worship and storytelling - upstairs in the Fellowship Hall
Crosswired is a high energy program with music, drama and break–out small groups. We end our morning with team games. This hour is spent teaching our children solid bible truths and building positive relationships with their leaders and peers. Our goal is to transform our children into spiritual leaders.
On July 25, join us as we study "Secret Service". The Virtue is Service - lending a hand to help someone else. The Memory Verse is, "Serve wholeheartedly, as if you were serving the Lord, not men." -Ephesians 6:7. The Bible Story is "Secret Service (Jesus teaches about giving to the needy)" - Matthew 6:1-4. The Bottom Line is "What in the world are you doing that only God knows?"
