Children's Director
Odyssey

During the school year, kids in Kindergarten through 5th grade
are part of an exciting Odyssey adventure! Every Wednesday
evening, at 7:00 p.m., Odyssey meets in the Junior Church
Chapel for a wonderful time of learning about our God and
Jesus Christ in ways that relate to a kids world and their
interests.

Each month, the kids are introduced to a new theme that comes
complete with a bible story, games, crafts, music, snacks and
activities. The months have weekly planned activities – all that
is said and done ties into the monthly theme. Kids also are
given the chance to earn "Adventure Bucks" which allow them
to go to the Odyssey box to "buy" fun prizes as a reward for
attendance, participation in activities, bringing their bible and
bringing new friends.

This program usually begins after Labor Day on the first
Wednesday in September and goes through the school year,
ending with a fun celebration in May. During the month of
December, we work on a Christmas program which involves
kids from Odyssey and Sunday School. This program is
presented to parents, friends and the congregation on
Christmas Sunday, usually the Sunday before Christmas.
Odyssey gives kids a great opportunity to bring their friends to
church and show how learning about our God can be FUN!
