Squish, boing, chomp, splat!  The only thing better than hearing these sounds is making them yourself!  Telling a great story is exciting, but when you get to add your own noises, things get…well…(insert Kaboom sound) explosively fun!  That’s exactly what kids will be doing during the “Live Out Loud” series.  Using their mouths, bodies, and just about anything else they can find, kids will help make the early stories of Jesus’ life come alive with sound effects.  The sounds of the story won’t be the only thing making noise, though.  As kids hear about the wisdom, love, and compassion that Jesus showed, they’ll learn that following his example will help them to “Live Out Loud” so that other people take notice and wonder who or what made them so extraordinary. 

Where oh where could it be?  “Hide-n-Seek” is all about revealing that which is hidden and making truth easy to see!  Jesus loved to help blind people see.  Not just physically blind people, but spiritually blind people too!  During the “Hide-n-Seek” series, elementary kids will look high and low for hidden pictures and objects while simultaneously uncovering the not-so-hidden truth about the forever love of Jesus.

Jesus often told parables to create a clear and memorable picture of what it looks like to follow God.  It’s as if Jesus was saying, “Picture this—a man had two sons…” During “Picture This,” kids will get to interact with Jesus’ parables by creating a series of their own fast-paced
pictures!  Best of all, while they’re releasing their inner Picasso, they’ll also be learning and experiencing what it means to follow our ever-living, ever-loving God.

Kids LOVE science!  Okay...maybe not every kid loves science, but they all love science experiments. There’s something about seeing the physical properties of nature reacting to each other right in front of your eyes. During “Professor Sid’s Science Spectacular,” kids will not only get to see some of the coolest science experiments around, but they’ll also use those experiments as a catalyst for understanding the most spectacular story ever told—the story of Jesus’ death and resurrection.

Think about some of the most popular toys ever—Legos®, Lincoln Logs®, Building Blocks.  These are classic and timeless toys! Why? Because people have always enjoyed building things. During “The Big Build” series, kids will have a chance to put their building skills to use while they hear stories about how God used ordinary people to build the early Church.
