- Church of New Life in Richfield: KIDZ Adventure
This summer we will join our sister church, the Church of New life in Richfield, in their daytime KIDZ Adventure program. KIDZ Adventure will run all summer with about 60 children. During the week of VBS in the Park, however, KIDZ Adventure will be opened to the community so that more children can attend. We will partner in providing the main program, small group lessons, and "workshops" for sports, crafts, skills, etc. Based on social youth indicators, Richfield is the second highest as-risk community in the metro area. Join the Grace team in sharing Jesus Christ as the true foundation on which to build ones life.
Monday - Thursday, July 20-23, 10:00 a.m. - 2:00 p.m.
- Little Earth Indian Community
The Little Earth Native American housing project in south Minneapolis is home to over 300 fatherless children living within three city blocks. Our Grace team in partnership with Akina Community Church (formerly Indian Fellowship) will be hosting a VBS in the church this year. The church will provide a safe environment where children can participate that is free from community peer pressure. Share the transforming, powerful love and hope of new life in Christ with these precious children.
Monday - Thursday, July 27-30, 11:30 a.m. - 3:00 p.m.
- Grace Church Latino Community
We will partner with Grace Church's Latino ministry in serving 80-100 children (most of whom speak English) in a densely-populated Latino community in Chaska. Interpreters and our Latino ministry leaders will be on hand to assist our volunteers. The community is open and receptive to the Gospel being demonstrated and proclaimed in love to their children. This is often the first step in reaching the whole family with the hope of the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
Tuesday - Thursday, August 11-13, 10:00 a.m. - 1:00 p.m.
