Like just about everything else these days, things look different for us this summer, but we’re making things work on our apartment complexes each week! We’re only allowed to meet outside, which isn’t too much a problem (except on those 100 degree days!) if we have water balloons to cool us off. We’ve had pretty […]
After two-and-a-half long months, we were finally able to start gathering with our kids again at 6 of our apartment communities the first week of June(We hope to return to the North Grand Villas soon). Even though we were able to bring snacks and check in on many of them each week during the lockdown, […]
We’re well into 2020 and having a great time as always. The kids have been learning about a different parable of Jesus each week. The weather this time of year is always an adventure. Sometimes we get stuck inside, sometimes it’s nice enough to run outside and play. Every day looks different, but every day […]
Christmas time is our busiest – and favorite – time of the year! For our annual Christmas Outreach, we once again partnered with Hillside Church and their Sharing Tree Christmas store on Dec. 14. For $5 or 5 canned goods, parents could purchase 2 presents for their child (and no more than $20 per family). […]
Is it really the first day of November? October flew by. We started the month playing and having a blast outside, and finished it bundled up indoors avoiding winter weather. We studied the I AM statements of Jesus, talked about fear, and made some cool Halloween Trick or Treat bags. It was a fun month. […]
September allowed us to settle back into a consistent routine and weekly schedule. It also remained warm and sunny, which left us plenty of opportunities to get the kids outside and run off their pent up energy from those long school days. We started a great new series learning about the “I AM” statements that […]
August came and went – and just like that, Summer 2019 is over and school is back in session. We started the month with our annual backpack and school supply outreach. We were able to help 174 kids this year. Huge thanks to the John Mark Sunday School Class at St. Stephen UMC, who came […]
July is always our kids’ favorite month of the year. Why? Camp Awesome! We took 38 kids and 14 adults/teenagers to Hidden Falls Ranch on July 1 for our annual 3 days of crazy fun. We climbed, hiked, swam, rode horses, tie-dyed our camp t-shirts, ate S’mores, laughed a lot, and ate some delicious food. […]
We have already had a blast this summer! In addition to our regular weekly Bible studies filled with crafts, snacks, and water balloons, we were able to partner with 3 different churches to create some fun new memories and friendships for our kids. We kicked off the summer at Cathy’s Pointe with the Hillside North […]
Its hard to believe, but we’ve finished our last month of the school year! May was filled with some great weather (when it wasn’t raining). We continued learning about the Armor of God, and the kids got in their last bit of fun with Lia before she had her baby boy (on Tuesday, May 28!). […]
