CHILDREN AND YOUTH SUMMER SCHEDULE

Brick Bible Breakfast

SUNDAYS, JUNE 2-AUG. 11
10-11 AM, SUMNERS HALL

Children are invited to engage in community play throughout the summer while enjoying breakfast together. We will hear a story from the Brick Bible every week and look at the pictures of the scenes pictured there. Then, we’ll work together to see if we can create a scene from our own imaginations that captures what we hear. This is flexible play intended to allow for maximum conversation and inter-generational fun.

Kelsey Cooper, director of Youth Ministry, will host a Brick Bible table just for teens for friendship-building, formation, and weekly check-ins.
