Summer of Fun #1

One of my favorite ministries with the kids is Spring Fling, the Spring Break ministry where the kids come to the church, go on field trips, do mission work, and other activities.  This year, when I was with the kids, I thought, “I wish we could do this more than just one week of the whole year!”  So…

Here is the “Summer of Fun!”  Every Monday during June and July (with the exception of July 9, due to Vacation Bible Camp and July 30, due to Day Camp), kids who have just finished Kindergarten – 5th grade can gather at the church for a whole bunch of FUN!  We’ll gather from 9a.m.-5p.m. and we’ll start out our day with mission work (some work offsite, some work here at the church).  After lunch, we will head out for a field trip –a movie, bowling, swimming, hiking…lots of possibilities await us!

Our first week (Monday, June 4), in the morning , we’ll make gifts and write letters/cards for our homebound members, have a sack lunch picnic here at the church, and then we’ll walk to College Hill Park Pool for some splashing fun!   The cost for June 4 will be $5/child. 

Mark your calendars now and watch the Tower and the REALKids blog for the Summer of Fun schedule of activities for June.  I am so excited for this ministry – what a great opportunity to get to hang out with East Height’s awesome kids, be in ministry with those in need, and have a lot of FUN!  Please call me at 682-6518 or email Julie@ehumc.org if you have any questions!

Trunk-or-Treat

Trunkortreat_038 We had a great time at the 1st Annual Trunk-or-Treat at East Heights, presented by Friendship First (I added the annual, because we are so doing this again)!  I have posted pictures from the evening - look for the photo album on the left side of the page. 

Thanks, Friendship First, for another amazing night of fun for everyone!
