Do you have young children? Are you looking to find playmates for them and connect with other families nearby? You're invited to come and develop close friendships and join the fun at Souper Saturdays at Kirkwood United Methodist Church. The kids will make lasting friendships as they run off energy, and you won't need to cook! Older and younger siblings are welcome to come along too. Parents will enjoy soup, and kids will have their own kid-friendly meal. Please email group leader Scott Kennedy to let him know you would like to come so he can plan to have enough food for everyone.

Family Fun Night, June 20, 2023
We like to have fun at KUMC and what better way to have fun in the summer than to throw a splash party in the parking lot! At our Family Fun night on June 20th, we pulled out the "car wash" sprinkler, had wet sponge tic-tac-toe, fishing in the kiddie pool, some pool noodle hockey and more. And the kids found even more fun and creative ways to such as making a "water angel". And we topped off the evening with some freezer pops too!
You are always welcome to drop in for a family fun night and come check out KUMC! Watch on our website, and here on our children's page for future Family Fun nights this summer, and for other activities through out the year.
