Terrific Thursday! Neighborhood Social at the Barn

What a wonderful afternoon and evening. The children's class started with song and prayers which everyone loved. The children love singing 'Blessed is the spot...' and adding hand signs that go along with the words.



They memorized the quote, 

'Blessed is he who preffereth his brother before himself.' 

We then played a game called, 
'Children of the World'...everyone ran after a the giant world ball with the purpose of having to stay together and not lose anyone. It think it also tired everyone out with all the running. Afterward, we came back to the blanket and colored our art page. So much fun!

 The friends spend the afternoon playing and chasing kites... and of course the giant world ball. All enjoyed a wonderful dinner of spaghetti, bread and salad. We met some new neighbors and had a great time. All are looking forward the next Terrific Thursday!!!


Our special guest for the evening was Juli Redson-Smith who shared wonderful news of other communities who are building spiritual neighborhoods. Thanks to all for making the night so enjoyable and an open invitation to all the new friends and neighbors...see you next Thursday at 4pm for children's classes 5pm for dinner!

Flowers of One Garden children's class


What a wonderful afternoon! The children met at the Kerr home, shared a couple of prayers and talked about how the love of God shines upon humanity like the rays of the sun. And how our love should also be like the rays of the sun. We should love everyone. The children played a game called quote charades and memorized, 'O Friend! In the garden of thy heart plant naught but the rose of love...', which is also on the sign for the garden. Everyone then headed off to the neighborhood garden to put up the sign and color an art page.


 Children on their way to the garden and  class photo at the neighborhood garden. Jadan giving a gift to Bushra, his coloring page. What a wonderful afternoon!!! Our hope is that the neighborhood will enjoy the beautiful garden.
