New Life Community Church Welcomes the First Days of Spring

Last weekend, throughout the island, there was no shortage of fun to be had. From events for adults to those for children, the island was extremely busy. The community was certainly busy with beach clean ups, the Realtors Association taking out to the waterways to clean up the trash and litter in our canals, as well as many wonderful charity events.

Pastor Thomas McCulley thought it would be a great day to open the church for a little family fun. The day was planned especially for the children to enjoy a day of laughter and joy, as we begin to creep out from under the dark cloud that has hung over us the last two years as we dealt with the pandemic and being locked down.

At the New Life Community Church, children enjoyed jump houses and various games. Volunteers cooked hot dogs and hosted a fun day for families to just come out and enjoy the sunshine and fresh air.

In addition to games, attendees enjoyed perusing through a flea market of sorts, set up along the outside of the church on West Elkcam Circle, while enjoying a cold beverage and a delicious hot dog.

Visitors could gaze across the parking lot to see Veterans Community Park, and the construction of the new amphitheater beginning to take shape on the other side of the church’s parking lot.

Besides bounce houses and slides, both adults and children tried their luck at tossing a bean bag while playing the popular cornhole games.

“We look forward to getting out more with our citizens and parishioners now that the COVID Pandemic begins to loosen its grip on the community and the fear begins to subside,” said McCulley, as he flashed his warm smile and spoke to the many people who approached him to say “Thank You” for a great afternoon.
