Josh’s Place is held every Thursday at the E-Free church in McBride. The group is for elementary school aged kids (but honestly looks like it could be a blast for anyone).
What can sometimes look like wild free-for-all, is a really great place for kids to socialize, try some exciting activities like indoor rock-climbing, skateboarding, ping-pong, or board games, or just to play a fun game of tag.
Volunteers in the kitchen serve up healthy snacks -there was an impressive mound of carrots and celery there on Thursday- and all the volunteers look like they’re having as much fun as the kids.
Josh’s Place volunteer Brynne Whelpton, and Halle Reimer just finished doing a take for a sign language music video that the kids and volunteers at Josh’s Place are putting together.
Nikodim Antypov swings on the rings which are set up alongside hanging monkey bars and a rope ladder in the front room of the church.
