“Kid Connection” Sunday school curriculum is being used. “Kid Connection” has been developed by Faith Alive Christian Resources in cooperation with the Children's Ministry Office of the Reformed Church in America and Presbyterians for Renewal. The Gospel is good news that requires a joyful presentation and response. “Kid Connection” sessions include lots of games, drama, music, and other fun activities designed to keep the children eager to come back for more. It's our objective to make Sunday school a time kids don't want to miss!
