Community Building Activities
Contact: Lindsay Full at 704-714-6971
Getting to know your fellow Sunday school classmates can be hard if you only see them on Sunday mornings. To develop and encourage these relationships, we offer a variety of community building activities. This is an opportunity for children to spend some time with their Sunday school friends outside the classroom. When possible, we also integrate a service project into our events. Each semester, we offer a fun night for different grade levels in All Saints' Hall. Sometimes we play Bingo and sometimes we have an evening of indoor games. We are also planning a couple of activities for our 4th and 5th graders, such as exploring the challenges of a high and low ropes course. Be on the lookout for these fun events.
