Family Peace Time at the Oasis

On Sunday, the Welch family joined the Park family at the Peace Oasis for a Family Advent Workshop. The family friends shared a meal together and then divided into groups, each preparing in different ways for the season of Advent into Christmas. Some made bird feeders out of pine cones collected in the forest, while others transformed the pine cones into Christmas decorations. They also played cooperative games and went swinging on the vine in the forest. The day ended with a Peace Circle and sharing of things they could do to help themselves and others as they prepare for Christmas. It was a day of real peacemaking and community building.
