Our FINAL Pray and Play Date for This Summer

Here are some highlights from our LAST Pray and Play Date. I hosted it here at our home and we had a beautiful day. The theme for this week was, "Fishers of Men." We also celebrated the Feast Day of Saint Rose of Lima. One of the girls in our group was especially excited to celebrate this, her feast day. It turned out that several of us have the middle name Rose (including me)! We said a prayer to Saint Rose, colored pictures of her, and even enjoyed a yummy pink cake!

The moms definitely enjoyed these Pray and Play Dates as much as or more than our children!
This week's craft project was decorating a paper plate fish. This is the sparkliest fish of all!

We had several game stations set up around the yard, including:

Sink or Float -

Fishing for Snacks (Goldfish crackers of course!) -

Fish Pond (Magnets on the end of dowel rods.... catching paper fish with paper clips attached) -
Magnetic / Not Magnetic (We used small dowel rods with magnets attached and sorted out a pile of objects as we determined which were magnetic) - We all gathered for prayer and listened to a poem about Jesus calling the fishermen to drop their nets and follow him. We played a fun game of "Pass the Fish." I just love this last picture. First, because Maggie is so cute and happy.... but also because of all the crazy fun you can see in the background!
We really enjoyed all of the Summer Pray and Play Dates. We learned a little, prayed a little, and had a great time with friends.
