Feeling stuck in an unjust world, can we find fruitful places in which we connect and grow?

Our theme this week will invite us to explore how we make meaning of the world and to imagine new ways of seeing familiar things. There are so many ways that we look at our lives within defined boundaries, but what might happen if we re-examine those hard lines? What if we used an eraser to soften those edges? What if we scuff the frameworks we have taken for granted? What could emerge from playing with what we know to be true?

Children’s programing is available for children of all ages — from infants through the end of high school. Youth groups meet in both the morning and afternoon. Our youth group leaders focus on fun activities, building life-long friendships while kids explore the stunning Isle of Shoals. Activities include hikes around the island, rowing out to Smuttynose Island, the duct-tape regatta, bottle rockets, and the Great People Hunt. In addition, there are many intergenerational activities throughout each day and evening beyond youth groups.
