“Jesus told them, ‘The harvest is abundant, but the workers are few. Therefore, pray to the Lord of the harvest to send out workers into his harvest.’” (‭‭Luke‬ ‭10‬:‭2‬) Children’s hearts and minds are fertile soil that we, as Christian parents, teachers, and family members, need to intentionally and purposefully cultivate in order to reap a harvest of spiritual maturity and moral excellence in our families.   One way we approach this goal at Linder is through participation in Leadership Training for Christ, an annual event that is held for the northwest region in Richland, Washington.  About 30 of our children, plus family members and other adults, traveled to Richland to attend the Leadership Training for Christ convention, where over 175 children from 3rd to 12th grade participated in many different…

What do pajamas, popcorn, and the Grinch have in common? Answer:  They were all found at Linder Road in the fellowship hall on Saturday, December 3 at the Kids Care Group Christmas party. It was a festive time as over 30 children enjoyed spending several hours together doing some fun activities and eating some sweet treats.  The activities included making Christmas tree ornaments, playing a gift exchange game, and enjoying a snack with hot cocoa, cupcakes, and cookies. As the finale of the party, the animated original film “How the Grinch stole Christmas!” was shown (popcorn included, of course!).  It was a lively, laughter-filled afternoon, as the children made their ornaments, exchanged gifts, and enjoyed each other’s company, forming friendships with one another that we hope will last forever.

The Christmas Celebration - a community outreach event “And because Joseph was a descendant of King David, he had to go to Bethlehem in Judea, David’s ancient home. He traveled there from the village of Nazareth in Galilee. He took with him Mary, to whom he was engaged, who was now expecting a child. And while they were there, the time came for her baby to be born. She gave birth to her firstborn son. She wrapped him snugly in strips of cloth and laid him in a manger, because there was no lodging available for them.” (‭‭Luke‬ ‭2‬:‭4‬-‭7‬) These words rang out from behind the puppet theater curtains as a group of teenage puppeteers from Linder Road performed the first of two Christmas-themed plays for the children at the…

Drawing Lesson at Northwest Point Community  A group of Linder teens and families spent the afternoon of September 25th, 2022 with some of the children of Northwest Point Apartments learning how to draw heroes from the Bible.   The drawing lesson was led by Steve Zeller, who taught the group a step by step process to create a superhero drawing of King David carrying his sling in preparation for his fight with Goliath, the Philistine giant (1 Samuel 17). After the lesson, homemade cookies and pumpkin bread were served and the children were given bookmarks, activity wheels, and a story booklet of David's heroic encounter with Goliath.   After the snack time, some of the group kicked a ball around and connected in play with these precious children, many of them being…
