Lenten Workshop Update

Over 70 children and parents attended the Palm Sunday Family Service and Lenten Workshop! Families participated in the service and a workshop consisting of three activities based on the themes of New Life, Forgiveness, and Servanthood.

In the New Life activity, families had an opportunity to make simple bird's nests for use in bird rehabilitation. At the Forgiveness station, families heard a story about the power of forgiveness and then had a chance to write their prayers in sand. In the Servanthood activity, families watched a video on the practice of washing feet in Jesus' time and then took turns serving others by washing feet.

At the conclusion of the workshop, families gathered in the Commons to have a light snack and to connect with each other! What a great experience for children and their parents to learn together!
