Blast

 The kids participate in the church's Blast program on Wednesday nights.  During this time, the kids attend a class and choir.  The focus of the class this year was the Parables of the New Testament.  The kids learned about a new parable each month and completed activities related to each story. The kids also completed several service projects this year- including goody bags for the nursing home, raising money to buy a sheep for a family in a developing country, and donating teddy bears and blankets to a local home for abused women and children.  Even more recently, the Blast kids hosted a car wash to help raise money for redecorating the Blast room.  The kids raised over $400 at the car wash, so it was a success.  Olivia and Owen had such a great time at Blast this year and can't wait for it to start back next school year.
