Now that summer is ending, it’s time for school again.

So join us for a movie this weekend as we have fun together and learn even more about God.
The last week of Chemical Reactions is here. Wow, we sure have looked a lot of amazing things such as Faith, Goodness, Knowledge, Self-Control, Patience, Service, and Kindness.

Can you believe the 4th of July is here already? That means it’s time for cookouts, parades, and fireworks as we celebrate the independence of our country.

Join us this weekend to meet and hear from a real American hero.
A miracle is a special event, one that you couldn’t do on your own. Miracles come from God and are God’s way of telling us that something is important. Although Charlotte’s Web is not a true story, it reminds us that God really does perform miracles and he allows us to see them, not so that we will believe in him, but in order to show us that there is no one else like him. Be sure to catch the end of our movie and see the miracle of Charlotte’s Web.

Join us as we continue Charlotte’s Web and take a close look at friendship.
It’s easy to be nice to those who are nice to us. But have you ever been nice to someone for no reason at all? The Bible says that God loves a cheerful giver.

Join us for a movie this weekend as we take a peek at what “giving” looks like.

Every day we make all kinds of choices, like what to wear and what to eat and what games to play. We also make choices about obedience like deciding to obey or disobey.

Join us in the K-town Warehouse and see what happened to a guy named Jonah who didn’t obey the first time.
When you stand up for what is right, you show others who God is. Unfortunately, not everyone will agree when you do this. Some may even give you a hard time. But remember you are never alone.

Have you ever tried to invent a new game to play? I wanted to do that once but I spent all of my time thinking about how to do it instead of just playing a game that I already had?

Does it just take enough water like trees do? Check out K-town and find out.
