Parkwood, Anchored in faith

Our recent holiday club in Parkwood was a beautiful blend of joy, learning, and spiritual growth. With the support of four volunteers and four assistant volunteers, we engaged the children in various activities, including artwork and interactive Bible sessions. A memorable moment was when a Grade 7 child expressed curiosity about God after participating in an activity that involved filling in the different books of the Bible.

Candice Lovelot, our Parkwood coordinator, shared her experience: “For my first-holiday club, I never expected so many children. They never wanted to go home unless they saw me leaving. The joy and laughter we shared was amazing. They asked me to have another holiday club and my goal was to teach them how to be anchored in Christ at a young age and to always have God in their boat, no matter the storms they face.”

This holiday club was more than just a series of activities; it was a safe place where children could experience God’s love and learn about His unwavering presence in their lives. The enthusiasm and eagerness of the kids to return highlighted the deep impact of the club. Seeing their eyes light up with joy and curiosity reminded us of the importance of our mission. We look forward to continuing this journey, providing an environment where young hearts can grow in faith and find hope amidst their challenges.
