School’s out, the days are longer, and family time is high on the “to-do” list. We’d love to help you find ways to enjoy the summer and spend some quality time together as a family. So, we’ve rounded up some free (or almost free) family time options for this summer.
Kids can enhance the fun and earn some prizes too, when they download our Summer Family BINGO cards and start exploring. Once they have a “BINGO”, they can redeem the card for an item from the prize bin!
In addition to the suggestions below, kids age 3-18 are invited to join us at church for Youth Nights each month this summer. The fourth Wednesday of each month, starting at 7:00 pm, we transform our Wednesday service into classes just for children and youth. Each month has a theme with games, crafts, and more! Mark your calendars for the dates below and join us for these free evening services.
