Spring Break Service and Fun Day

The kids are on Spring Break this week. So, we decided to do a Service and Fun Day on Tuesday. From 9:00 am to noon, we worked at the church organizing clothes for the Clothes Closet and cleaning up the church grounds. We picked up sticks, raked leaves and swept sidewalks. The kids are learning what it means to give back, and I think they had a lot of fun.

At noon, we attended the special Lenten Service. Jon Chadwell gave a great talk about redemption. The kids said later that they really enjoyed it. He held their attention which, speaking from experience, is pretty empressive.

For lunch, we had a picnic out at Jacksonport St. Park. It was a bit cold, but we warmed up by playing Superman Freeze Tag and Nuke'em. Nuke'em is a variation of volleyball.

Afterwards, we returned to the church; worked a bit more on the Clothes Closet; and had a fabulous chili dinner provided by Sandy McCormick.
