PUMPKIN PATCH HAYRIDE
Once again the Van Til’s opened up their farm to host a
pumpkin patchhayride
. We also partnered with Grace Reformed Youth Group and CPO(Chicagoland Prison Outreach) to get Urban Youth to this event. The kid’s (&moms from Roseland Christian Ministries Homeless Shelter) went on a“hayride” in the fields and then were allowed to Pick a pumpkin to decorateand take home. We then came back to the farm for games & food. My assistant Jeff Bryson shared “the Word” around the campfire. The kids had a great time. Iwas especially touched by the words of some of the homeless moms – theyshared how quiet and refreshing it was to come out to Crete – and theyexpressed great gratitude for this activity.
