On June 12, 2024, Oregon City Stake’s Campby District 1 held the 2nd Annual Community Carnival.
What began as a family tradition of the backyard, the scale and spirit are now growing significantly, and the missionary opportunity is given to the main children in the ward.
Roseann and Scott CRUM have begun to host a backyard carnival that has the opportunity to invite grandchildren to participate in fun games and enjoy carnival food.
About 140 people participated in last year’s carnival, 50 % of non -members and community members. Comprehensive events emphasize the commitment of wards that provide young people and children with unconventional missionary activities and create space welcomed for everyone.
The work of a missionary in the “fun and natural environment”
Carnival works as an opportunity for major children to invite non -members’ friends to church activities.
Word young people participated in the event by leading and coordinating games and activities, such as car bounce, spin the ax (with plastic axes), and popular attractions such as clown pons.
These young leaders seamlessly promoted the game for about 90 children and showed patience and kindness.
“This carnival will enable our main children to share the value of our religion in a fun and natural environment,” said Loresan Clam.
Added Scott Crum: “It was a very simple way to do it. Everyone is enjoying the carnival, it takes people to our building, and they are probably a little more comfortable. I will do it.
Even missionaries attended, mixed with the crowd, and further added the community and the spirit of the wrapping.
“Complete group effort”
Word members and the auxiliary leader donated time and talent to the event. The flyer was made by elementary school students to distribute them to friends. Even schools brought a face that I had never seen before in churches.
The carnival featured traditional carnival foods such as hot dogs, popcorn, and shaving ice provided by families in the ward. Roseann CRUM has added that the activities have been “full group efforts” with the time and donation by members of the ward.
This event is an impressive principle that missionaries can take a variety of forms, and encourage them to enter the role of leadership while creating a fun and attractive atmosphere for everyone involved in the young people. did.
Young participants have been involved in nature with each other and functioned as a “organic and easy way” to promote understanding and cooperation between classmates, neighbors, and friends.
Looking forward, THE CRUMS is hoping for the continuation of this event, paying attention to how much expectations and excitement have been created among the participants.
“It’s important to maintain the momentum,” Scott Clam said.
This carnival reflects the dedication of the first ward of Camby, which provides opportunities for service and mental growth in a wider community.
