Understanding and memorization of God's word is the central goal as well as involvement in ministry and community service. Their mascot, Major the Lion, leads them on a safari through the Scriptures. A highlight of the evening is the chapel time. Children worship together by praying, singing, and listening to a Bible message. Each week, kids are challenged to respond to God by receiving Jesus as Savior, obeying His word, trusting Him, or in other ways .
Chapel time is also the time of recognition for the work individual kids have performed.
Since a feature of Sonlight is its short-term attainable goals, kids receive awards often and this spurs them on to greater accomplishment. Uniforms and Awards Kids are proud to wear a uniform that signals their involvement and accomplishments in Sonlight. King's Kids wear a royal blue vest while Sonbeams, Knights, and Angels wear a club t-shirt. Each time a child attains the next step in their Sonlight journey, they are rewarded with the appropriate patch, pin, bracelet, or trophy. Of course, the most lasting reward is their deepening love for, and understanding of, God's word.
