Saturday Sports at Pyle . . . it was the first day back for the kids and volunteers following the winter break. They were dedicating “The Peace Place” which is an octagonal area on the playground under the trees with benches which was built by a group of volunteers from The Bridge. It’s a place available for classes so they can have class outside sometimes. It is also a designated place for kids who are getting angry or frustrated. Before they get in trouble, they can take a personal time-out and go to the “Peace Place”.
On this first day back at Saturday Sports about 50 people from the church came to dedicate “The Peace Place” and pray for the school. They also did some campus clean-up and then ended the morning with a big BBQ lunch for everyone.
Projects like this, and weekly events like Saturday Sports that draw members of the church onto the school campus and into the neighborhood bring awareness of the many opportunities for The Church to engage with the community and be a part of the lives of the children and families.
Once you spend time with a bunch of kids on a Saturday morning, your heart just keeps telling you to to come back!
