SUMMER SUNDAY SCHOOL (June/July/August)
Summer is a great time to take a break from the normal routine and try something fun and different. This summer, kids will enjoy different pictures books from our very own Kingswood Library. We'll talk about how they relate to God and what God calls us to. Each reading will have a book club feel with discussion and fun activities to follow. Check out our reading selections in the Spotlight on Sunday School section below.
In addition...we'll be collecting new and gently used books all summer long to donate to schools in need overseas through Reynolds' Provisions. Miss Rebecca is one of our Sunday School teachers and this is her mission.

PAJAMAS AND POPT'ART'S IS BACK!!
By demand, our ever popular Pajamas and Popt'art's is back this summer. Kids asked, and we answered!
Every second Sunday in June, July, and August, kids and volunteers can wear their pajamas to church...after all...it's summer!
We'll enjoy a poptart breakfast together in Sunday School before we get creative and have fun with art.
Praising our Creator who created us to create!

Service Opportunities to Help Others
Did you know that Gratitude Generation is a local nonprofit organization that is making generational waves?! And...they are housed in our Deerfield site campus at 815 Rosemary Terrace in Deerfield, IL.
They do a tremendous amount of compassionate work in our community, for others, teaching the next generation of children and families how to serve. We've been thrilled to partner with them at events we've held, and we support their mission to support neighbors in need while building a new generation of service-minded leaders.
Check out the many opportunities they have for kids and teens.
Seriously...they're amazing!
Sign up today to help support our community vegetable garden that two of our youth have started to provide fresh food to our Food Pantry guests!
