In February some of the Chi Rho kids that I work with expressed concerns about the racist comments they were hearing regarding the aid requests for Haiti. They were struggling with how to respond. We talked it over and decided to sponsor a lock-in and begin some activities that might open the conversation further.
The hope of this event is that the kids who attend will leave with 1) an answer from the scriptures that they can refer to, and 2) a project that they can share – their own interpretation of the story of the Good Samaritan. We are invited your kids to join us on this adventure.
Below is an information sheet and registration for the lock-in for 3rd-8th grade that we are putting together.
- We are asking for each participant to pay $5 or bring one item for Church World Service Health kits (listed on the information sheet) and $2.00 for food expenses.
- I am still working on schedule and need volunteers.
- We will begin at 6:30 p.m. with arrival and team building activities. Dinner will be a 7 p.m.
- I’m also in need of a videographer in the early morning to video what the kids put together. We can then provide churches and individuals with DVD’s to show what we learned from Jesus’ story of the good Samaritan.
- We will dismiss at 7:30 a.m. on Saturday.
