2nd Quarter Church Service
Let’sGetSocial!
For our second quarter church service, we joined the service at Family, Word and Worship located on Belmont Road in Kingston, on Sunday March 24. We were truly blessed and encouraged by the message from host pastor Junior Tucker, pictured receiving a donation to the church from the club.
We teamed up with our sponsored club, the Kiwanis Club of St. Andrew Southern Professionals Online for a night of fun, food and games on Saturday March 23, at Pepper Tyme on Constant Spring Road. Oh what a night!
Sunday School at Maxfield Park Children’s Home
We did it! Our Sunday School at the Maxfield Park Children’s Home is now live.
On Sunday March 17, several members of the club armed with Bible lessons, craft items, food and ofcourse a cake to celebrate the momentous occasion gathered at the home for the start . The children were very receptive and had fun answering questions and completing the fun activities presented by the team. Members can join the mission every 1st and 3rd Sunday.
We honoured clergyman Rev Canon Michael Allen in our joint meeting with KC EPSAO on February 12 and followed up with the presentation of tokens to mark the significant occasion. Canon Michael is the Rector at the church of Ascension Mona and an ardent supporter of our club
