Prayer Walks

The Prayer Walks have resumed this summer. Our first prayer walk was Friday, June 24th. This year we're putting a special focus on the WPC recreation center. 

The rec center has seen transition and is still going through a transition of management from.the school system back to recreation and parks dept. Time is filled with swift transitions and in transitions can unfortunately cause some form of chaos. So, the first prayer walk was on the grounds of WPC, praying for the rec staff and volunteers and the pool staff and participants. 

The prayers also included our petition to keep our 8000 sq ft rec center in the mist of the new school design.  The 21st century school building process, all schools are guaranteed up to 3000 sq ft of community space,  which includes recreation space, Out of School Time (After school Program), community school coordinator office, food pantry, mental health provider etc. . . 3000 sq ft gets eaten up quickly, and the prior rec center operator proved that 8000 sq ft wasn't enough. 

On the brighter side, we were able to secure a summer meal program in the rec center provided by the Family League, via Grace UMC and community volunteers. The dinner runs from 6-7:15pm Monday through Friday ages 18 and under. Also, we have secured a Karate Program for youth/ families. The karate program operates every Tuesday and Thursdays from 6:30 to 8:30pm. Come check it out.
