The First Presbyterian Church of Deerfield has been offering TNT(Tuesday Nights Together), a midweek faith-building program for all school-age youth, for more than 20 years.
Each Tuesday, youth will participate in a variety of activities:
--Bible Studies: Lessons have been carefully selected to help children and youth reflect on life situations. Using a fun-filled approach, participants will gain a better understanding of their faith and commitment to Christ.
--Music: Singing familiar church songs, as well as contemporary church music, all ages are sure to enjoy the music! The elementary, junior and senior choirs participate during various worship services.
--Mission/Recreation/Craft Time: Age-appropriate games, crafts, and mission projects help to reinforce the importance of being part of God’s family.
--Dinner: Our menus are kid-tested! Sharing a meal together encourages fellowship, friendships and a sense of the family of God. Table games complete this time.
Who: More than 200 kids between 1st & 12th grade from more than seven different towns and sixteen different schools to participate in the program each year. Participants do not have to be members of the First Presbyterian Church of Deerfield: we welcome everyone.
When: Tuesdays from 4:00 to 6:20 p.m. for 1st—5th graders, and from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. for 6th-12th graders. There are two sessions, one in the fall and one in the winter.
How: Since it's start in 1985, the program’s success is directly linked to the support and leadership of parent volunteers and church staff. For each participating child, a parent is expected to volunteer. A variety of jobs is available.

1 child - $140
2 children - $265
3+ children - $355
