Kids Desiring God
Kids Desiring God is for 4-12 year olds (up thru 6th grade). It is on Wednesday nights from 6:30 to 8:00 PM beginning in October and continuing thru April. It is a time of learning, singing and sharing about God. The curriculum is taken from Desiring God Ministries. Children up thru kindergarten are learning that God has established a testimony through Old and New Testament stories. First thru Third graders are studying the names of God. Fourth thru Sixth graders are studying the Providence of God. The first hour (6:30-7:30) is spent in individual classes. Everyone gathers together for the last 1/2 hour to sing and share what they have learned that evening.
