Holy Week Journey – March 28, 2021
On March 28, we had a Holy Week Journey for families outside on our River Terrace path. With over 16 volunteers and eight stations, over 50 people got to experience the events between Palm Sunday and Easter. At the end they received a copy of the devotional that accompanies the stations on the path, and an Easter goodie bag! It was cold and windy but we had a wonderful time. Please enjoy these pictures of the event.
GEMS and Cadets clubs
At home material kits are being used for 1st to 6th grade boys and girls participating in these unique clubs. It’s a great way to encourage your young one to have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ through devotions and fun at home activities and crafts. We are unable to meet in person at this time, but I can guarantee they will love some of the surprises in their take home activity kits! Some of the awesome counselors from last year are involved, communicating with your kids in a variety of ways, including snail mail, which is ALWAYS fun to receive!
Please check out these videos bout GEMS and Cadets for more information.
If you have any questions or simply want to add your child’s name to the list, please contact Shalom .
