Tonight is our "official" start of our kid's choir and Hide N Seek. Kid's choir begins at 6:30 p.m. and Hide N Seek is from 7-8 p.m. Both of these meet at Hesston MB Church (610 W. Randall). The community is welcome. Kid's choir is for those interested in singing.  They will sing during worship services and will be involved in 2 programs throughout the year. Hide N Seek is for all children 4 years old through 4th grade.  During Hide N Seek, they will rotate between recreation and Bible Memory and classroom time which includes prayer, snack, Bible Memory and a lesson.  Each week a devotion is emailed to families to allow them to discuss what is being learned each week in their homes.  If you have questions, please contact me at 620-327-2847.
