KidzKonnection
Sunday School, called KidzKonnection, is a weekly program running in parallel with the worship service from 10-11:00 a.m., and is offered to children in grades 1-6. All leaders in this program have a current Vulnerable Sector Screening Check,
The fall program was a 13 week program called The Big Wave Discovery. The fun and excitement of getting together in a beach setting was combined with the discovery of biblical answers to kid’s really Big Questions about God, Jesus, the Bible, Prayer, the Church and more. Each week the Big Wave discovery helped students focus on a Big Question and a Big Answer through scripture readings, stories, crafts, games and more.
Our winter program runs from January 8th and will be a 13 week study of
The 10 Commandments.

Hey Parents! Got a Kid who likes video games (and who doesn't)? Check out Yahero at www.yahero.com
A couple of years ago, the Canadian Bible Society was given the opportunity to create a unique ministry opportunity for children and young people, and the ground work began on what is now called Yahero. Made with the creative genius of EyeseeTV, Yahero (short for Yahweh our Hero) is an online gaming experience that has been professionally designed and tested with children (so it’s cool…or is that phat? Or sick? I can’t keep track…). It uses first-class animation and technology to allow kids an allegorical gaming experience that will encourage them to read the Bible.
You can learn more about Yahero here. That link will also let you explore the game, which is receiving add-ons weekly as it rolls out.
Full engagement in the game will entail a minimal cost, but I think it would be worth it to get kids playing games that are going to build their spiritual lives.
We tend to think that the spiritual development of our families is not about fun and games. Well, now, maybe it is. Check out Yahero today, and share the link with kids you know.
