    “To Mars and Beyond” is the theme for this year’s program, which is open to children from Pre-K through Grade 5. With the church sanctuary decorated to resemble outer space, and a friendly alien puppet with a human friend on hand, the young “Voyagers” will enter an atmosphere of adventure and learn about how God is able to do far beyond all that we could ask or imagine. 
    Each morning, participants will play games, create arts and crafts, conduct science experiments, sing, and hear Bible stories, as they discover how God shows them how to “go beyond” with faith, boldness, kindness, thankfulness, and hope.
