When does The Mix start?  The Mix will luanch on September 14.

Should 6th grade students attend Route 456, The Mix, or both?  Route 456 is Third's Sunday morning program for students in grades 4, 5 and 6.  This program excels at providing students an understanding of the themes of the Old and New Testament.  The Mix for students in grades 6-8 also provides Biblical teaching while pressing into more topical issues like wisdom, friendships, temptation, etc..  Together, the programs provide a balance of foundation and application that can help 6th grade students transition into owning and living out their faith at a deeper level.
