Spark in the Park success!!!

Hey all! This past week we were a part of Spark in the Park; Memorial Park to be exact! Over 100 volunteers from churches such as Holy Trinity (woop woop!), Christian Life Ministries, Queen's Road Baptist Church, Bethel and Elim, came together to provide crafts, games, sports, facepainting, songs and stories each day this past week.

From 1:3o-4pm, we gathered near the Park and Ride with a few marquees and inflatables and had an amazing time! Over 300 kids and their families joined us each day! There's a 'Spiritual Surge' time each afternoon where the children and parents learned about someone in the Bible who'd gone through a tough time and had cried out "I'm a believer, get me out of here!", which was the week's theme. We were reminded that God has a plan for us, and He loves us, even when the going gets tough. And during one such Spiritual Surge, Josh was 'gunged' - pictures to follow soon!

On Wednesday night, your very own Dré and Josh lead the Family Fun Night, which included relays, team games and quiz rounds. On Thursday evening there was a football tournament, and on Friday night, Dré and Sarah Harrison, assistant minister at Queen's Road Baptist Church, co-hosted the Spark Factor Talent Show!

It was a great opportunity to share our lives with families from all walks of life, and we are so grateful we've been able to serve on the Executive Committee for such an amazing feat. We really look forward to next year's Spark, and hope to get many more of you involved!
