THE MAZE (All Ages)
(Construction—Oct.13--24, Open Oct.25-31, Takedown Oct.31 and Novermber 1)

The Maze is an outreach we do for kids of all ages. It represents real life in that we live and die by the choices we make. There are plenty of dead ends and most students become very lost in the Maze. There is only way out and that represents the truth of how Christ is the way, the truth and the life. We need plenty of help with construction and operation of the Maze and are always looking for adult volunteers to be involved in helping to build, donate food or supplies or just help with security. We have special hours for young children with flashlights and special times for teens and pre-teens as well. The Maze culminates on October 31st when we have a free indoor carnival for families and children called Family Fest.
