Mini golf, major fun! ⛳️

We had so much fun at Parkville Mini Golf thanks to their kind discount and a generous donation from a donor. Our game combined with ice cream made for the perfect end to our school year!

The VYC was learning about the rich young ruler during chapel recently, and the decision he had to make in order to receive eternal life. A small group question following the lesson was, "What are some things you need to trade in today?"

One of our regular students answered, "I need to trade in my life for Jesus," and then we prayed a prayer of salvation!

Luke 15:10 - "In the same way, I tell you, there is rejoicing in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner who repents."

Today’s field trip was the zoo with our wild crew! We had so much fun petting goats and stingrays, chilling with the penguins, and watching the snakes. All of our fun adventures wouldn’t have been possible without the zoo’s generous ticket donation - so thank you, Kansas City Zoo & Aquarium! 🦘🦒🐘🦈🤍

We had so much fun today at Crown Center’s Journey to Oz exhibit and the Hallmark Visitors Center! This spring break has been so much fun - can’t believe we’re halfway through the week already!

On November 16, we were blessed with a Thanksgiving banquet by Hope Family Fellowship for our students and their families! This was Hope Family Fellowship’s tenth year providing students we serve with a Thanksgiving meal and showing them the love of Jesus. This year was no different and we had so much fun having dinner together, playing in the bounce house, competing in nine square, and having a family devotional about thankfulness. Thank you, Hope Family Fellowship! 🦃🤍

On October 27, we were so fortunate to have Rink Ratz donate a skate afternoon for our kids! They had so much fun skating, getting their faces painted, and doing the limbo. We hope we can have fun skating together again soon. Thank you, Rink Ratz! 🛼🩵

This is an awesome truck and will help City Union Mission! Bid today in our auction.

The second-generation S-10 was built by Chevrolet from 1994 through 2004 and was designed to compete with the Ford Ranger. With its robust body on frame design with rear leaf springs these trucks were designed to handle all the loads and abuse you could throw at it!

Such a gourd time today - we had so much fun at Red Barn Ranch thanks to Farmer Matt and his team’s generous field trip donation! We learned about pumpkins, gourds, and squash before having fun playing freeze tag and burying each other in the corn pit. Then we fed some animals and went down the farm slide before ending our time with decorating our own miniature pumpkins. We are so grateful that Red Barn Ranch donated a field trip so we could come out and have fun while school was out! If you’re ever in the need for a pumpkin, they’ve got some pretty great ones - even though our kids were definitely the best pumpkins in the patch! 🎃🧡

We did an egg-cellent job with our Friday Fun Class! We had a volunteer come in and teach our kids how to make eggs in a frame and bacon. We had so much fun and are already looking forward to our Thanksgiving themed cooking class next month! 🍳🥓
