Our Wednesday Night Program for Kids!
-- “The Zone” from 6:30-7:30pm

You won't want to miss this exciting and fun program for children
3 years - 6th grade.   "The Zone" is an hour packed with activities -  stories, games, crafts, snacks & music.  Parents will register and sign in their kids and then the fun begins as we learn about the "Heroes and Heroines of the Bible"! 

For information, call the church office, 503-656-3433, or e-mail at ocumc@clacknet.com put "The Zone" in the subject line and list your name and address and the names and age/grade of your kids.

An offering will be taken each week.  This fall the offerings will be added to the fund for our "Foster-a-Family" program that will give families in need a special Christmas filled with love and hope.  As the kids come in, they can place their offering in the basket.  At our opening assembly time, we will add a sticker to our poster for each dollar in offerings from the past week.  There will be absolutely no pressure put on the kids to bring an offering, but we hope you can participate with nickels, dimes, quarters or more. 

Below is an example of the things your kids will experience!  The Zone will meet from 6:30-7:30 in Room 5-6 for an assembly and music and then continue with story, snack, craft, games and more!
