MOTHER'S WITH YOUNG CHILDREN'S CLUBS IN LIBEREC

Ken and Linda have the freedom and joy to be of service to many different Christian groups reaching out into their community. The Liberec church has 3 Mother's with Young Children Groups throughout the city ministering to mothers with children between the ages of 1 and 5 years of age which meet 2 or 3 times a week. Every once in awhile they have a special activity. We were invited by 2 of the groups to attend their masquerade parties on March 16th and the 29th, and Ken was asked to make balloon animals for the children as part of the program. As you can see in the pictures the moms and kids had a joyful time: dressing-up, singing and doing special activities like decorating cookies, playing doctor with a giant syringe and bandaging a doll and choosing which balloon animal to have Ken make for them. This may seem like a strange evangelistic outreach, but because of the past communist attitude towards the church many adults are afraid to even enter a church building. It is never too early to let the children know that church is a safe, fun and wholesome place to be.
