It's Raining Kids!

Throughout the month of July on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 6pm to 8pm Sunshine opens its doors for Summer Blast! During Summer Blast kids from the blocks the Sunshine building come in to do crafts, play games, perform skits, and also hear about the great heroes in the Bible. There have been over a hundred kids come out for Summer Blast! It is always exciting to see new faces join us as well as see who returns. So far we have had six kids accept Christ!

We had hoped Summer Blast would attract kids from our neighborhood who would take interest in our youth programs and help us to become familiar with them. In fact, some kids have already plugged into our Wednesday night Bible study called ReCharge, so they can grow further in their walk with Christ. God supplied our hope for kids with whom we can intentionally build relationships and given parents in the community an opportunity to become familiar with us. We are eager to see what God is going to do the rest of the summer!
