Important News About Spiritual Play!

Spiritual Play is one of our newest and most dynamic ministries for families with young children. Your support has been essential, and we had planned for the future with 15+ children ages 3-9. Unfortunately, we have not seen this level of participation, and we needed to align the cost of this ministry with our budget. After a great deal of thinking and praying about this program, we have decided to reconfigure the staff.

After almost 3 years of implementing and tweaking the program, we have eliminated the developer position. This means we are saying goodbye to Dr. Cindy Hoard. Thank you, Cindy for all your work, expertise, and passion for children’s spirituality. Feel free to contact Pastor Ken, Linda Merritt, or Heidi Zinn if you have questions or concerns.

Catholic High School Students in Utah Walk Out To Protest ICE and Support Immigrants | OSV News

More than 100 students at Juan Diego Catholic High School in Draper, Utah, staged a walkout in support of the immigrant community and to protest the aggressive actions of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). "What's going on in our country is horrible, and it's really important for our young generation to use our voices to stand up for what's right. These people are running around, terrorizing the streets, and I think it's more important now than ever to use our voices and to stand up for what's right, even though it's hard," said senior student Leini Tui, who was one of the event organizers.
