Wednesday Night Bridge

BRIDGE is available Wednesday nights starting from 6:45PM-8:00PM for kids nursery-4th grade.  Our 5th graders will be meeting in The EDGE room for an intimate time of study with Lisa and Glen Bailey.  The BRIDGE features biblically-based wild and crazy challenges that will teach our children about God through silly strings, chopsticks, Mr. Potato head and toilet paper (just to name a few.)  So come out and “be immature” with us in the name of Jesus on Wednesdays at Sugarloaf KIDS.  Volunteers are welcome and needed.  Contact Lisa Bailey at lisa@sugarloaf.org for more information.


KidCampus - Wednesday Night Kids Classes!!

Relay for Life Team
May 9
Registration Forms due April 27

We are putting together a Sugarloaf KIDS Relay for Life Team who will walk together at the Gwinnett County Fairgrounds on Friday, May 9th at 8:30 pm. If you would like your child/children to participate in this very worthy cause you need to pick up a registration form and return it to me by Sunday, April 27th. Forms are located at the BLASt counter and for more information or questions contact Jon Chambers at 770.497.0026 or jonandmattc@bellsouth.net

We are always teaching our children at Sugarloaf KIDS that they are not too small or young to make a difference in the lives of others and that they can be "world-changers." Opportunities like the Cancer Walk are a wonderful experience for our children to see this principal in actions. Come out and join us as we together make a difference as the body of Christ, Sugarloaf KIDS, in the lives of others!

Solid Rock Kids Camp
July 7 - 10
Registration Begins April 28

Our new Solid Rock for KIDS camp registration begins on April 28th for ages rising 1st grades through rising 3rd grades. The cost is $90.00 and will be limited to 20 participants (we will take a waiting list).  The dates are July 7-10 from 9:00AM to 1:30PM.  Our Camp Leaders are Heidi Ellis and Stephanie Nolan. 

Jesus often taught His disciples and crowds of people by telling parables. Parables are stories with a moral. During Solid Rock Kids Camp we will explore four different parables in a fun-filled, exciting way. Through field trips (Yellow River Game Ranch, Adrenaline Rock Climbing, Rainbow Trout Fishing Ranch and Destination Unknown), crafts, and story-telling we will explore the wonderful teachings of Jesus.

Bible Verses:

  • "I will open my mouth in parables; I will utter things which have been kept secret from the foundation of the world" (Matthew 13:34)
  • "O my people, listen to my teaching. Open your ears to what I am saying. For I will show you lessons from our history, stories handed down to us from former generations. I will reveal these truths to you so that you can describe these glorious deeds of Jehovah to your children, and tell them about the mighty miracles he did. For He gave His laws to Israel, and commanded our fathers to teach them to their children, so that they in turn could teach their children too. Thus His laws pass down from generation to generation. In this way each generation has been able to obey His laws and to set its hope anew on God and not forget His glorious miracles." (Psalm 78:1-7)
