We have secured a perfect location for this family fun event! We can’t wait to have you all join us for some summer fun. Cedar Hall School in Christiana has graciously offered us their property for this event. We will enjoy a cook out, play games, and enjoy splashing in the creek and having water balloon fights. It’s going to be great.

It’s time for our summer fun water party!! Bring the whole family for this time of fellowship.

If you are able, please bring a side dish to be served with the hot dogs. We will provide hot dogs and buns and a few sides. If you are not able to bring a side please join us anyway. There will be plenty for all. I will send out a sign up genius for this event with simple sides options so we don't end up with nothing but dessert!! HAHA Not that the children would mind if we did.

Bring your bathing suit or clothes you don’t mind getting wet, towels, and probably a change of clothes for the ride home.

If you know of a foster family who is not getting our messages or attending events please share this with them or encourage them to be in touch with us so we can get them on the email list. We don’t want anyone to miss out on all the fun!
