Summer Adventures

From June through August, our children participate in our summer program, Summer Adventures, instead of religious education classes.  Summer Adventures are fun activities that change from week to week.  RE classes will resume on Sunday, September 14.

 

Join us each Sunday for another fun Summer Adventure!

 

See details on upcoming Adventures below.

Sunday, July 6 – Letters to Dominic – led by Jenni Rytel

The main activity will be writing letters to Dominic Balingbing, the boy in the Philippines for which we collect money each week.  Bring your favorite stationary or pictures you'd like to send him, as well as your creativity.  We'll have plenty of other supplies for you to use and we'll help the younger kids with the writing.  This is a great opportunity to show Dominic that we are thinking of him throughout the year.
