			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>On Sunday mornings our KidRock! Worship program is fun-filled while teaching children of all ages (pre-K thru 3rd grade) Bible truths &#8211; each in a way they can understand.</p>
<p>Here&#8217;s what we know &#8211; children will spend thousands of hours in school and at home. They&#8217;ll be at church about 50 hours. So our goal every Sunday morning is to make sure that the one hour we have with them is the starting point &#8211; the springboard &#8211; for conversations between kids and their parents all week long.</p>
<p>How do we do that? Here&#8217;s our approach:</p>
<ul>
<li>We have all ages explore the same Bible Point in separate classes</li>
<li>We make sure each Sunday has a Daily Challenge activity to help family members put their faith into action each week</li>
<li>We make sure that each Sunday has One Main Point &#8211; making it easy for kids and families alike to remember it</li>
</ul>
<p>Each Sunday our KidRock! Worship program consists of three main parts:</p>
<p><strong>Large Group Worship</strong> &#8211; where children are invited to sing, learn hand motions, dance, and enjoy worship in contemporary age-appropriate worship songs.<br />
<strong>Small Group Drama &amp; Lesson</strong> &#8211; kids participate in the acting out of the story, review the Bible story, and learn a single memory verse.<br />
<strong>Lesson-Inspired Games &amp; Activities</strong> &#8211; kids get to &#8220;live out&#8221; the lesson in crafts, games and a variety of ways to internalize the simple challenge.</p>
<p>If this is your first time bringing children to our program, <a title="first time visitor guide" href="http://creeksidelife.com/first-time-visitors/"><strong>make sure to check out these important notes.</strong></a></p>

		<description><![CDATA[Fourth and fifth graders have their own club every Sunday morning at Creekside. No little kid games or lessons for them - they're investigating God's Word and applying it weekly.]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>As they mature and head toward their teenage years, Wildside helps fourth and fifth graders connect with each other and connect with God &#8211; all while having fun. Wildside uses handbooks and other materials that are especially geared for their older age group. Our Wildside club features fun and competitive games and a message that focuses on the gospel and applying God’s Word to daily life. During the lesson, leaders interact with our kids to help them memorize and understand Scripture verses.</p>
