Kids’ Fun Week is coming to Amherst South Church on June 22-26. This weeklong, fun-packed summer experience is for kids completing K-5 this spring. It happens from 9 a.m. until 3 p.m. daily. Local children, from all faiths and backgrounds, are welcome to attend. The $150 per child cost includes lunch each day.

Activities will be centered around a “connection” theme, such as connect with family or community, for example, and will include plenty of art, music, and outside play time. Each child will have the opportunity to learn and have fun, while growing in faith, and learning about our shared humanity.

According to Rev. Dr. Susan Cartmell, who is Amherst South Church’s Pastor, “We are so grateful to be able to offer this program to our community. The week after school ends is often the hardest time of the year for working parents because many camps do not start this early. Plus, it is a wonderful opportunity to teach kids about Bible stories, ethics, and wholesome community values, and have fun together at the church. “

South Church is an open and affirming, immigrant welcoming, green congregation of the United Church of Christ. This curriculum will have a strong peace emphasis, with experienced local teachers leading the program. Each age group also will have high-school age counselors. In addition, Rev. Cartmell is an experienced bible leader who enjoys working with kids and excels at delivering her weekly children’s message.

Amherst South Church, with both a remarkable church building and meadow behind it, is located on the historic South Amherst Common. For more details on this program, our teachers and staff, or to register, please visit our website: https://amherstsouthchurch.org/kids-fun-week/
