Awe & Wonder

What is it?
Awe and Wonder is a place for children and youth ages 4-14 to explore a deeper relationship with God through imagination, nature, and the arts. Each Awe and Wonder event will include hands-on opportunities for kids to create and play, allowing them to engage with God in new and exciting ways.
What to expect?
Each Awe and Wonder event will have a different theme related to the arts or nature. At every Awe and Wonder gathering, we will provide dinner, dessert, and conversation about God and our particular theme. We will also bring in an “expert” who will help the kids to experience God. Events will be 2-3 hours long, and parents are welcome to drop off their kids and pick them up at the end.
Who is invited?
Everyone ages 4-14! You do not need to be connected to St. Barnabas in any way to enjoy Awe and Wonder.
