2026 3rd-6th Grade CentriKid Survey
Today is the last day to complete the survey! All 3rd - 6th Grade families are invited to complete the 2026 CentriKid Camp Survey. Due to registration changes through CentriKid, we are asking all 3rd-6th Grade families to complete a brief survey (even if your child is not planning to go to camp). Your responses will help the Kids Ministry team make future decisions about the registration process, camp costs, scholarships, etc.
Each family that completes the survey will be entered to win a $50 Chick-fil-A Gift Card!

Candy Needed for Upcoming Fall Festival
We are accepting individually-wrapped candy donations for the trunk-or-treat at our Fall Festival coming up on Wednesday, October 29. You can drop-off candy at both the Preschool and Kids Check-In desks. Also, if you would like to volunteer for the event, stop by the Preschool desk to sign-up.
Important Kids Ministry Reminders
Check-In: A parent, guardian, or teenage sibling must be present at the Check-In Desk when checking in your child. This is for the safety and security of all of our kids and families. Once checked in, children need to enter the Kids Ministry area.
Church Lobby: Please do not allow your children to play, run, or spend time in the church lobby unsupervised. To assist with Wednesday nights, we open the Kids Ministry area at 5:30pm for kids to hang out.
If you have any questions please reply on the Parent Text Message or email Adam Pharris at apharris@stevensstreet.org.
