Looking Ahead
Kids’ Summer Adventure 2024 - July 15-19, 9am-12pm, at 404 Broadway, Somerville. Get ready to make some NOISE and join us for Clap Your Hands, Stomp Your Feet, our 2024 KSA! Registration is now OPEN: Sign up HERE.
At KSA this July, children will journey through the story of King David—from sling-shot-wielding, shepherd boy to singing, warrior king. There will be five mornings of fun with exciting games, solid lessons, creative crafts, loud music, tasty snacks and captivating skits as we learn about the faithful God that King David worshipped. For all kids ages 3 through 5th grade (completed), cost is only $25/child (discounts for 1+ child, and financial assistance available). Sign up here and invite your friends! KSA is a collaboration of Seven Hills and City on a Hill Church Somerville, taking place at City on a Hill (404 Broadway, Somerville, MA).
Calling all volunteers for Kids' Summer Adventure! Grown-ups, middle school youth, and high school youth can join in the KSA fun. Volunteers are needed in a variety of capacities during the months leading up to KSA and during the week of the KSA. Want to organize snacks, build a 9-foot Goliath, help host the mission team, make decorations in your home, lead in a classroom, run AV, be an age group buddy, perform on stage, or do photography? We need volunteers for these things and many others. No experience is necessary--training is provided, and nursery care is available for volunteers’ children (ages 0-2) the week of the event. Sign up here to register as a volunteer.
Questions? Contact Christine Stone.
