"In the garden of thy heart, plant naught but the rose of love...."

On Sunday May 9th, the Jr. Youth Spiritual Empowerment Group and the children from the Flower's of One Garden Children's Class did exactly that! They worked in the neighborhood garden, planting beautiful flowers in the shape of a heart with a rose bush in the center. The youth also planted vegetables and looking forward to the harvest later on in the summer.

 

 

Children and Youth of all ages were invited to plant in the garden. They are so excited for the plants and vegetable to grow and are looking forward to tending the garden. One of the children shared, "I love being a gardener because I love flowers."

Our dear neighbor youth, Ryann was presented with the funds raised on behalf of the Jr. Youth's first service project. The Jr. Youth are looking forward to assisting Ryann again with another Parent's Night Out! babysitting fundraiser in the works, coming soon!

The day was beautiful, warm and sunny, just perfect for playing volleyball, ladder toss and enjoying great company. We met several new neighbors and look forward to cultivating these new friendships. All in all, it was a wonderful gathering. One of our Jr. youth put it best, 'When can we do this again?' I second that. We will for sure be planning another opportunity for neighbors to unite and get to know each other. Thanks to all who made it a wonderful day!

Jr. Youth Spiritual Empowerment Group at Rigden host service Project! What an amazing evening!!!

The Jr. Youth Spiritual Empowerment Group at Rigden Farm is all about developing 'spiritual and intellectual excellence' through service to the community. These dynamic jr youth ages from 11-14 are meeting weekly, at the Rigden Senior Center, studying the 'art of service' and creating relationships with each other through study and recreation. This was their first service project. The Jr. Youth came up the the idea of hosting an evening of babysitting in hope of raising funds for a neighborhood youth, Ryann, who is facing challenges with cancer. Words cannot adequately describe how incredible this event was. The Jr. Youth raised over $130 and are looking forward to hosting another evening. There have already been residents within the neighborhood asking when the next Parent's Night Out will be scheduled. 

 Ryann is a beautiful, dynamic, and courageous Youth who has so lovingly given our Jr. Youth an incredible opportunity to learn from example the beautiful attributes of God. We whole heartedly thank Ryann and her family for allowing us to give her this gift.What a joy to be a part of this group. The Jr. Youth are looking forward to providing more service and will no doubt be exemplifying 'excellence' as they do it. 

Jr. Youth and the children played games, colored pages with virtues of 'service' and 'love', ate pizza, graham crackers and milk, watched a movie while some danced, did the hokey pokey and the limbo. What a great evening!
