Kids! on Wednesday
Wednesday Elementary Programming
"You know what they say - life's a circus!"
Elementary kids are invited to participate in our Kids! Spring Musical, The Prodigal Clown. We'll tell Jesus' parable of the loving father and two sons with a high-flying twist. Be a part of the greatest show on earth - or at least the greatest show in northern Indianapolis!
Rehearsals begin Wednesday, January 16
and run from 6:30 - 8 p.m.
Performances are Friday, May 17 and Saturday, May 18 at 7 p.m.
Save yourself some time by completing your child's Musical registration form in advance. Download and print the form here and bring it to our first rehearsal!

Wednesday Preschool Programming
On Wednesday evenings, preschool-aged children (age 3-5) will have the opportunity to hear, see, touch, taste and smell the “fruit” of the Spirit.
“But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control.” Galatians 5:22
Our time together will include play, coloring, crafts, Bible stories, snack, music, theme related games and DVD’s.

WHAT I DO:
As one of the Kids! Ministry Directors at the crossing, I serve kids birth through preschool and their families. My favorite part of working at CATC is hearing the stories from parents about how something their child heard, saw or experiences in Kids! stuck with them.
HOME, FAMILY, PETS?
I live in Zionsville with my hunky husband Jason, my two lovely daughters, Emma and Allie and our enthusiastic dog, Sonny.
MY HOBBIES:
In my "free" time, I enjoy decorating, reading, shopping and hanging out with my amazing friends.
INTERESTING THING TO KNOW ABOUT ME:
I am a Homegoods Junky and I can still do a pretty good cartwheel.

WHAT I DO:
I love kids and I am passionate about helping kids discover Jesus’ big love for them! I think it is simply fantastic that I get to do this at work on a daily basis, by providing general oversight and leadership for all Kids! Ministry programming, with special attention to elementary school students
HOME, FAMILY, PETS?
Originally from the Portland, OR area - where Mom, Dad, and brother live now.
MY HOBBIES:
Laughing, pop culture, cooking, blogging, art, music, reading.
INTERESTING THING TO KNOW ABOUT ME:
As a kid, I was slightly obsessed with “The Little Mermaid.” My parents claim I saw it 3,147 times. Everything I wore/owned/played with was Ariel-themed. I even brought the magic on the road, insisting my parents play the soundtrack on the cassette deck in our van. To this day, my Mom and Dad still cringe when they hear the song, “Under the Sea.” As an adult, I may or may not have replaced this obsession with one for NBC comedies.
