Spring Break Blessings!!!

God continues to show His faithfulness to Open Arms. This spring break we undertook two major projects, and three great groups helped us achieve our goals. This spring break we focused on completing the dorms. Intervarsity form UCSD helped paint the dorms, and labored in laying in the foundation for the dining and kitchen area. Then, Christ The King Church from Blaine, WA brought their youth group and constructed the outdoor dining and kitchen. They also held a VBS with the kids, and donated blankets for every child!!!

Additionally, The Quest from Novato, CA came down and was in charge of laying all the cement footings for the foundation of the new building & daycare.  We thank all of you for your hard work and fearless dedication in helping Open Arms!!!

Easter at Open Arms:

This year during Easter the Christ the King group ushered in the week with a VBS about the last days of Christ. This week for our Wednesday service we were able to share the last super and communion with the kids and the group. It was great to see how the children took a moment to ponder all Christ had done for them. Then towards the end of the week we had our annual Easter egg hunt. The kids really enjoyed decorating their Easter bags and searching for the hidden eggs. For some of the kids it was their first Easter at the daycare, and a very special time to share with them. For many of them Easter was all about looking for eggs, now they can celebrate the real reason.
