Summer Reading Challenge

We want to encourage your family to stay engaged in God’s Word this summer! Here are a few ways you can participate:

  • Check out the Bible options for kids listed below—these are great resources you may want to purchase for your family.

  • Each Sunday morning, elementary students may check out one book from Station 4.19. A variety of age-appropriate books are available for independent reading or for families to enjoy together.

  • Please return the previous week’s book before checking out a new one.

  • Students can log each day they read throughout the week to earn points toward a Sunday morning donut party!

  • Our C3 Kids greeters will assist students with recording points and checking books in and out.
