Summertime is here, school is finishing up, kids are ready to be home, and we are – busier than any other time during the year? Yes, it sometimes feels like that, doesn’t it? We’ve got graduation open houses, baseball and softball games and practices, swimming lessons, driver’s education classes, family vacations, weekend jaunts to the cottage, picnics and side trips galore.
Our Christian Education team at Jenison Christian Church recognizes that your summer is a busy time. We’ve responded by intentionally lowering the amount of church programming throughout the summer weeks – and at the same time, trying to raise the level of quality for what we do offer. Beginning last summer, one way in which we’ve tried to do that is the creation of SummerSalt.
SummerSalt is designed to be an introduction to Jenison Christian Church through a fun activity for your whole family. It is specifically intended to give you an opportunity to invite your friends, neighbors, and co-workers to a church activity that is “safe”. There won’t be any high pressure sales pitch given to the guests that you bring – just a high quality, fun, safe activity for everyone. We WILL take a few minutes to explain who we are, and what some of the opportunities at Jenison are for your guests and their families.
We’ll let your guests know that we provide quality children’s programming in Sunday morning PromiseLand, fifty-two weeks a year. It’s like having Vacation Bible School every Sunday! We’ll let them know about our Wednesday night children’s activities and our youth group opportunities. We’ll let them know about our small groups options. We’ll let them know that we love them and we care about them, and that our purpose to help them to “become passionate followers of Jesus Christ.”
That is, after all, the vision of Jenison Christian Church! It is a joy to be on this journey with you. Thanks for coming along!
