Each morning session will begin with prayer and a bible skit in the gathering space. It will end with a large group gathering in the lower lounge. In between, children will rotate to various stations to sing catchy songs, play teamwork- building games, have related snacks, experience interactive Bible adventures and create fun crafts and much more!
