Hello! Well we have had a great fall and winter here at iConnect, but we are ready for Spring;me and some warmer weather! On Fridays, we have had lots of fun at events like Human Bowling and Mario Night, along with our Alive nights which include more sharing ;me with friends, snacks and more. Our Sunday morning program starts with hot cocoa and con;nues with our Trek program - looking at the big picture story of the Bible, led by our fun and crea;ve teachers, Val, Michelle and Angelika! Now that Spring is here, we will be welcoming the Grade 5s who are finishing up KidZone to join us on Friday nights for our events and ac;vi;es so they can cross over from the kids ministry to iConnect. We are excited to get to know them bePer and have lots of fun together star;ng on April 6th! We are kicking off the new season with some ac;vi;es during Spring Break week too. Be sure to check the details included on the flyer in this newslePer for all informa;on.
