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!
