Preschool and Children’s Ministries

We strive to connect kids to God by cultivating a heart-transforming personal faith in Jesus Christ through a safe, loving, and fun environment with biblically sound teaching and relational discipleship. We desire to partner with parents to ensure that they are doing their God-ordained job of discipling their children in the home. We offer a variety of activities throughout the year for children and their families. We’d love to have you join us! Take a look at our ministry areas for birth through 5th grade.

October 4th COUNTRY DAYS CORN MAZE 3:30pm-6pm

MEET US AT THE MAZE
BLAST Preschool and SHINE Kids and their families are invited to load up the car with the kids and your neighbors and meet us in the Country Days Corn Maze parking lot (416 Joe Lee Helms Rd., Indian Trail NC) at 3:30pm on Saturday, October 4th for a hayride to the maze. We have reserved a bonfire pit from 4pm-6pm, so plan on meeting there sometime between 4pm and 5:30pm for hotdogs, chips, drinks, and s’mores.  The cost for the meal and one trip through the maze is $10/person age 3 and older.  You can navigate the maze and/or check out the other activities (additional cost of $1 per ticket or you can purchase an unlimited wristband) and stay at Country Days as long as you like. We just have to leave our bonfire pit by 6PM.  Check out their website for more information.

Please register by Thursday, October 2nd. In order to get the group rate for tickets, I have to purchase them in one transaction. You may pay cash, check written to Providence, or Venmo me @Jennifer-Pyne-2. You may pay me early or before we hop on the hayride! Thank you!

November 2nd OPERATION CHRISTMAS CHILD SHOEBOX PACKING PARTY 9am-10:30am
During Grow Groups, BLAST Preschool and SHINE Kids will have a Shoebox Packing Party! I know that many of you pack shoeboxes for Operation Christmas Child as a family, but we do this each year so that all of our children can participate.  We set up tables in the gym filled with items that the kids can “shop” from. Each child will pack one shoebox. Even if you pack your own boxes as a family, if you’d like to send in additional items, we’d love that! We will also accept donations to help cover the $10/box shipping fees.

Here is a link to a list of suggested items:
