Parents' night out event hosts activies for kids

While the parents are away ...

During Parents Night Out at Trinity Ecumenical Parish in Moneta, children were blindfolded as they placed animals onto Noah’s ark two by two. On another night, they designed lamb masks as a reminder that they are part of God’s little flock. Trinity offers a Parents Night Out on the first Wednesday of each month from 6 until 7:30 P.M. It provides an opportunity for children to gather together at the church for special activities while their parents go out for fellowship and support. Trinity also is offering Parents Again, a ministry designed to support grandparents and great grandparents who are raising their grandchildren.
