We celebrated the Thanksgiving holiday with the families, and friends, of Edison Gardens on Sunday, November 19, at the Edison Gardens Community Center! A big THANK YOU to everyone who spent their Sunday afternoon with us!!
Our guests were welcomed with fellowship and game playing! Then we enjoyed a Bible lesson about the “Five Kernels.” After thanking God for providing for all our needs and for loving us, we all enjoyed a hot, Thanksgiving dinner. We concluded our Event by having the kids fill out a Christmas Wish List, and by practicing Christmas carols in preparation for our December outing. We had an abundance of food left over; so we were able to send take-out containers home with every family.

The October Event for Edison Gardens was held bright and early on Saturday, October 14, at Crooked Creek Ranch in Wakarusa! We had 9 children from Edison Gardens, more than 30 volunteers from 2nd Saturday, and GCC’s OPA Team join us!! Thank you to everyone who spent Saturday morning at the Ranch!!!
Our group was welcomed with Krispy Kreme doughnuts, hot chocolate, coffee, and Sunny D! Then we spent time playing on the beautiful new playground; riding horses and bicycles; exploring the Ranch’s trails, donkeys, and ducks; and enjoying Cindy’s tractor, and tractor basketball, rides. Our Event concluded with a performance by GCC’s OPA Team, pumpkins, and Halloween treat bags for every child. Even though it was a crisp, fall morning; we were blessed with good weather and an abundance of Son Shine! Thank you, Cindy, for allowing our group to use your Ranch, and playgrounds, to bring God’s children closer to nature and to Him!

The September Event for Edison Gardens was held on Sunday, September 17! We had 19 residents from Edison Gardens join us!! Thank you to everyone who spent a warm and sunny, Sunday afternoon at Tree-Mendus Fruit Farm in Eau Claire, Michigan!!!
The children enjoyed a tractor ride into the fruit orchards; with our tour guide, Lynne Sage, sharing with us the way God speaks to her through everyday things at the Farm. Lynne also made stops along the way so the children could pick different leaves from the fruit trees, and they were even able to break several branches off a sassafras tree to smell the pleasant aroma! Everyone was able to pick a bag of apples to bring home, and was given an apple pencil, compliments of Tree-Mendus Fruit Farm. We concluded our visit with a picnic lunch, playground activities, and a visit with the small farm animals!
