252 Kids is a fun place for elementary-aged boys and girls to meet new friends, play games, learn life skills, and learn about Jesus! It has 2 different "sections": large group and small groups. The small groups rotate 1 time during the evening, so all the children get to participate in both Games and Skills.

Large Group

In the large group opening session, kids may act out a bible story, ask questions of a "special visitor" from the past, or play quick games to learn about God's love. All ages work together, helping each other as needed; to read, write, and illustrate God's timeless truths!

Small Groups

In small groups, one group of kids go to learn about the bible focus for the week. While the other group will go to Skills, where they learn new skills each unit. Some of the skills are communication, first aid, and cooking!

Each week Open Arms staff and volunteers look forward to seeing the kids and sharing the Gospel - won't you consider joining us?

**WE HIGHLY ENCOURAGE PRE-REGISTRATION**
