One of the exciting outreach opportunities that Christ the King Church and School has taken on is sponsoring a Kid's Carnival every year. Last year being our first year it was intimidating to see all the bounce houses and all the children, not to mention spending 4 hours helping kids climb over an obstacle course wall (some of them the same size as me!) This year it was a little different...
I spent time checking out the bounce houses or the slides with my son, who enjoyed them immensely.
For the 3,000 people that attended, let me say that one one more time, 3,000 people!!! we offered free cotton candy, popcorn, face painting, balloon animals, a stilt walker, and a magician, not to mention the 10 bounce houses ranging from those toddlers could enjoy to obstacle courses that the adults enjoyed as well.
I had the opportunity this year to walk around and talk with prospective families for our school. It was encouraging to hear from parents who have enrolled their children for next year. The word is getting around our community about our commitment to excellence in education and more importantly our love for the Lord.
It was a sunny, 71 degree, Saturday afternoon where I got to enjoy some family time, time in the community, and time with the members of my church family. It was wonderful to be a part of such an eager and growing congregation where everyone wanted to share their love of Christ the King.
