The Kids Krusaders of the First Christian Church in Vinton is made up of youth grades 1-6. The kids meet every Wednesday after school from 3:30-5:00 p.m. where they make crafts, have a Bible story time, snacks provided by the church members, music, games and a prayer time. Each month, the group has a special theme. This month, the theme was "giving."

This month, they sent cards to shut-ins, helped with recycling around the church, and served as acolytes during the Sunday Worship service. With the help of the congregation, they group has gathered small, handheld stuffed animals and assembled small craft items.

The animals and crafts were given to the EMT workers at the North Benton Ambulance to distribute to children who may need to ride in the ambulance and are afraid. The crafts are for the older youths who may need something to entertain them on long transfer rides.

Giving back to the church and their community is one way that the First Christian youth are learning about responsibility and how to be our leaders of tomorrow.

Adult leaders for the Kids Krusaders are Mary McInroy, Kathy Miller, Rick and Sue Erickson and Pastor Dana Jumper.
