SPARK! This new children’s experience to activate faith will take place following the children’s talk in the late service when the children (3-Grade 5) will be ushered to the lower level until the end of the service or the beginning of the distribution of communion. Bible Discovery and SPARK! experiences will be different but focus on the same Bible story. Opportunities abound to help in offering these education experiences for children.
