REGISTRATION

CONNECT 4+ is a free after-school program open to all elementary school children
and is held every Wednesday from 3-6 PM.

K- 5th grade
will be focusing on Living God’s Way this year at Connect 4+

 

This year in Connect 4 t we will learn about Living God’s Way and what the Bible teaches us about respecting and honoring God. We will learn how He wants us to respect and treat others with care, because each and every person, both children and adults, are precious to God.  When we treat others with respect, we are showing honor and respect to God. 

Each week begins with snack and homework time (with help available).

For those with no homework they may choose to read or work on service projects for others. Connect 4+ continues with Worship, a Joyful Noise and Outside Play, followed by our Inspiration Station - creating something fun that will help to remind us to Live God’s Way 

Registration Is Required 
Children
MUST be in Kindergarten through 5th grade to participate.
