In celebration of the “Day of the Child” here in Colombia, leaders from Shalom Covenant Church, in collaboration with the regional youth leadership team, and a group of young adults from the Nueva Vida church plant, organized a party for children. The three hour party consisted of music, singing, games, clowns, activities, crafts, face painting, balloons and whistles. It was three hours of loud fun. The children, over 60, came from different Covenant Churches and were the cause for celebration. During the three hours together the leadership made it a point to emphasize just how valuable these children are and how much God loves them. For me, the most encouraging moment was to see the youth and young adults engaging with the children, becoming like children themselves. I know how much children look up to youth and for these young people it was a reminder of the responsibility they have for these younger ones. It was truly a day of celebration!
Thank you for this post, Katie. Encouraging and uplifting! Young people have so much to offer each other. What a positive way to affirm the blessing each one of them is!
