information for parents

When the steam whistle blows, hold on to your hat and let your imagination go. You are about to meet the characters, the artists, the storytellers who call The Big Deal warehouse home.

Who can come to The Big Deal?
K-5th grade- with parent or parents.

What is the main Goal of The Big Deal?
Our children's ministries learn, experience and focus on the same virtue each month. Families will experience this together in The Big Deal so they can put these truths into practice at home.

How long will the Saturday event last?
37:07 Thirty-seven minutes and 7 seconds. Who's watching the clock?

Can I sit with my kids?
You bet, we hope you will. Just pull up a space on the rug. We don't have chairs, use the steel in those to make contraptions. We need you to be a part of the event.

Will you provide childcare?
Remember the event is for K-5th grade. We will provide care for 2 and under. If you also have a preschooler they are welcome but need to sit with you. Trust us on this one. Some parts of the event will have loud music, moving lights and unexpected sound effects, rockets, heavy fog and real tools.

Can I help?
We're counting on it. Can you give us an hour a month? Contact Andrew Weiler

Do you need techy volunteers and crew?
Yes, and we can teach you to operate the simple tools we use: rocket launchers, welders, video switchers and lighting controls. We will interview you, email us.

Is it true that as well as dispensing out the truth and virtues you sometime throw moon pies?
Only ones still wrapped; we do have some standards. No edible object we toss out contains peanut oil. We look on the labels.

Can I invite my neighbors?
You are the only one who might have that opportunity. We are counting on that too.

When is The Big Deal?
10:40 and 12:20 Sunday Mornings
