Kidz Zone’s goal is to create a meeting place where children ages 4-9 can learn about Christ and begin their walk in faith. We have 7 member volunteers who help coordinate and carry out lessons, activities and events.

Our program generally begins with group games and songs, followed by a Bible Story and prayer. The children then move into the small craft areas where they enjoy a craft or activity pertaining to the story. Following this time, they may have “free time” to play with toys or color until they are dismissed.

Our current curriculum has changed from the fall to facilitate ease in planning as well as instill the basic bible stories our children will need to grow their faith. We are focusing on Bible stories beginning in Genesis and will work through Revelation using a children’s Bible. The Bible story is then followed with a topical craft or manipulative that the children play with.

Kid Zone had a very busy fall beginning with the Pumpkin Hunt in October, followed by Samaritan’s Purse in November and the Christmas program in December.

Kidz Zone is looking to attract more families by including our children in more roles during the service such as taking offering (spare change) and occasionally participating in special music. Future activities for this year include an Easter Egg hunt in the Spring, Arts Camp in the summer as well as our Second Annual Pumpkin Hunt and Kids Helping Kids (Samaritan’s Purse) event. Lessons learned from last year will make these outreach events even better! We will conclude 2009 with the Children’s Christmas program.
