Grace Lutheran Church has announced it is beginning a free after school care program for students in first to sixth grades. The program will provide a safe place for young school children to enjoy activities, crafts, snacks, an object lesson or Bible story, and an opportunity for study. The program will be one day a week, Mondays, from after school to 5:45 starting Monday, August 26. School buses will bring the students to the church. All students must register. Registration forms can be picked up at either of two open houses 7:00-8:30PM Monday, August 19 and Wednesday, August 21 at Grace Lutheran Church (508 K St) or picked up at the church office (402-887-4791). This free program is being funded by the Grace Lutheran Thrivent group. The Thrivent group wanted to do something to give back to the community. Pastor Kuhfal said, "Our members desired to do something to help serve the families in our community. It is hard to parent today. We want to provide a safe place where parents can bring their children one day a week.". A director will be hired to oversee the program. Members of the church will help volunteer to staff the program, as well as provide snacks and craft materials.
