Ready for a Friday morning workout with your child? 🏃‍♀️🤸‍♂️💪👟 As we have entered the Lenten Season, we would like to invite you to join us on Friday Mornings in our gymnasium for an active Stations of the Cross. From 8:00 am until 8:30 am, please join us in the gym with your child. If you can’t make it right at 8:00, please join in the gym whenever you can make it, and stay for as long as you are able. When you arrive, please choose a station to start at that is least busy (they are indicated by white posters with purple borders on the gym wall). We will spend about a minute and a half at each station. While there, there is a prayer for your small group to recite and then there is an exercise or an activity to do for the remainder of the time so that in some small way our students, parents, and staff can get a bit tired or uncomfortable as Jesus was. If you prefer to substitute any of the suggested exercises, feel free as well. We will host these stations of the cross five times during lent, tomorrow morning - March 7th, and then again on March 14th, March 28th, April 4th, and April 11th.
