Twenty people took part in “Let it Snow in January!” an All Ages Afternoon Drop In. We made scones and hot chocolate, discussed joy and created joy jars – a small spiritual practice that can be meaningful at any age. It was a wonderful afternoon, and we will be having another one soon! Loving February will be on Friday, February 17th from 12:30-4. We will make and eat cupcakes, among other things. Drop in for some or all of the afternoon! (Please note that we have a small number of unaccompanied child spaces, and unaccompanied children must register ahead.)
But these afternoon drop ins are definitely not just for children. They have been carefully designed to meet a number of our congregation’s goals, and to have fun while doing so!
These events:
– use our newly renovated kitchens
– take advantage of our beautiful outdoor space
– incorporate art, crafts and/or music (in different ways depending on the date)
– intentionally create intergenerational spaces where different ages can interact with one another and build relationships
– serve our community by offering (limited) unaccompanied child spaces on PA days (dates are chosen according to the PA days of the TDSB and TCDSB)
– connect with values that are important to our faith (gratitude, love, joy, and others)
– have opportunities to engage with mindfulness/small spiritual practices
– allow us to eat and talk together
In addition to February 17th, save the date for Friday, June 2nd: “Joyful in June” featuring Strawberry Shortcake.
