Friday Faith Builder-5th Grade Mission Trip To NYC



This past week, eight of our KiDS COR fifth graders each brought one parent along to share together in our very first mission trip to New York City! Wow—were they all amazing! We filled our days with opportunities to grow in knowing, loving and serving God and others.


We learned about immigration as we visited the Statue of Liberty, Ellis Island and the Tenement Museum, a place where immigrants came to live after they were accepted into America. We cleaned up a couple of community gardens, delivered Meals on Wheels (actually they were Meals on Foot ), worked in a food pantry and prepared a meal for 400 people at a soup kitchen.

The group listened to people’s stories of becoming homeless and how they are working their way out of homelessness. We visited the World Trade Center site and the Museum of Jewish Heritage to learn about the horrors of hate and the hope that comes when people seek to understand and love one another. We were warmly welcome as we worshiped in a synagogue and a church in Harlem.

We spent time at the Church Center for the United Nations where we learned about the importance of being involved in both charity and justice efforts as we serve others. We also were visited by the top official of the United Nations World Food Program who taught us to share the story of freerice.com, a website where anyone can play games and earn grains of rice for people around the world.

We thank God for this amazing opportunity to grow in our faith, and as we return home to Kansas City, we will be exploring ways to build relationships and serve here, as well. We feel blessed to have been a part of this journey.

A Day At KiDS COR Basketball Camp

Every Summer KiDS COR has two great weeks of Basketball Camp! Led by Coach Eddie Rogosich over 400 kids attend camp over these 2 weeks. We thought you might like to see what a typical day at camp looks like.

Our campers begin in their team lines each day for instructions from Coach Eddie. Each camper is placed in a team of 8-10 kids and has 1 coach for the entire week.

Follow the opening instructions, campers participate in a fun camp wide camp game. Today was Relay race day!

Next campers rotate through instructional and competition stations. Stations include ball handling, speed & conditioning, and of course some one on one games.

Camp would not be complete without a snack. Today was animal cracker day!

Each day at camp we take time out of camp to have a halftime devotion. Guest speakers from Resurrection take 15 minutes to talk about about the most important reason we are here at camp and that is to know and love Jesus a little bit better.

Following the halftime devotion we play one more camp wide game and then all campers meet with their team for a closing praying and any words of wisdom.

Camp is so much fun both for the avid basketball player and for those who just like to have fun. We hope to see everyone at our next basketball camp sometime soon!
