Here is a report written by our own Casey Roberts about the Palm Sunday Youth trip to Clairvaux Farm ... [Clairvaux Farm is located in Cecil County, MD and is part of the ministry of "Meeting Ground" serving families who are experiencing homelessness. This was the second trip by PCC youth to sponsor a party for the children on the Farm.] Casey Roberts April 22 at 12:01pm Report:
Egg hunts? Flower pot painting? Egg dying? What does this remind me of? Hmmm…oh yes! Clairvaux Farms! There was so much to do! The older boys had the most fun hiding the eggs. For the older kids, they would just throw them around the hiding field randomly, seeing who could throw farthest. We really got to know the kids at our flower pot decorating station, though. The little girls and boys had fun painting the boxes-and us- and pouring in the soil. It was so fun to see them laugh in happiness as they worked. All of the youth handled the children so well! I think Emily -and friend Anna- had the most fun with one little girl they met. The rest of us had fun talking to the older kids or playing with the little boys. After a fun egg hunt, we all entered the dining hall to eat cookies and dye eggs. When it was our time to leave, we saw happy faces, bags of candy, pretty pots, and even more special; Gods love resting in the air around us. It was honestly a beautiful trip, and I cannot wait to go back!
