Gayton Kids Families on Mission
Our February "Families on Mission" project is to craft hand-made Valentines to be delivered to seniors in our community. Please make them at home and drop them off with Mrs. Hillary by Sunday, February 13.
SAVE THE DATE! This year's Monumental VBS will be held June 27 - July 1 from 9:00 AM to 11:30 AM. Those who wish to volunteer their time as a VBS leader can sign up here. Children of VBS leaders are guaranteed a spot! We are anticipating the ability to host up to 150+ campers this year.
We still need volunteers for the Preschool portion of our Monumental VBS experience. Please register below if you are interested in serving with the youngest of our church community. We need to fill a majority of our Preschool VBS leader positions in February in order to accept preschool camper registrations.
VBS Camper registration goes live March 1 for Gayton Kids (children and grandchildren of members of our church) and children currently enrolled in AGAPE, SPACE, and QUEST.
Save the Date!
Our Family "Easter Jam" live experience will be held on Thursday, April 14, from 5 - 6 pm in the gym. Similar to our "Jingle Jam" event held in December 2021, Easter Jam is filled with fun and engaging games, uplifting, kid-centric worship music, and creative Bible storytelling centered on the story of Jesus' death and resurrection. It's an event the whole family will enjoy!
This is not a drop-off event.
