The Kids Peace Club has been blessed this year with the Youth Group joining them in being their guides and leaders. I have new opportunities for both groups as they band together in the spirit of community.
Einstein said,” If you want your children to be intelligent, read them fairy tales. If you want them to be more intelligent, read them more fairy tales.” I, for one, believe fairytales spark imagination, help children develop a broader understanding of the world and its possibilities, which can lead to more creative and innovative thinking. Fairytales are not only for children but for all of us. Therefore I invite both groups to:
Youth Group – Grades 6 – 12
What? Come together for fun, faith, food and friendship by exploring the world of your creativity!
When? Sundays from 4:00 to 5:30 pm
Where? Cafeteria, Kitchen, Gym and away.
How? Sister Suzanne will have special guests to teach and provide many opportunities for this year’s explorations and fun! Mr. Ed Dilg and Ms. Rita Millard will offer their special talents among others.
