God Squad is an after school program for children attending third,
fourth and fifth grades. God Squad starts in October and concludes in
early May. God Squad follows the public school calendar and school
cancellations.
God Squad children are transported to the
church from Bishop Hogan, Field Elementary and Central Elementary
Schools. They are served a snack, have large and small group activities
that are Bible based. Topics that have been covered in past years are
Jesus' Parables, Fruit of the Spirit, World of Creation, Awesome Bible
Adventures and The Christmas Story. Their Bibles are used for looking
up verses and for the stories. Activities include crafts, Christian
Growth, service projects, Bible puzzles, and Bible skills.
God Squad visits with the elderly at one of
the local Nursing Homes once a month. They visit, share stories, and
take completed craft items for the residents. The residents are eager
for their visits!
Parent volunteers that drive, send snacks and
drinks and help in the classroom support God Squad. God Squad is led by
the Christian Life Director and supported by the Education Commission.
