Uncommon SUUmmer Experience: Wednesday

Wednesday’s theme was “Buddhism.” The morning started off with students making plaster of paris hand prints. After that messy activity, we cleaned up and broke into groups to discuss religion, spirituality, and different beliefs. The older kids talked about the specifics of Buddhism. Our field trip this day was to see the Buddhist monks create the sand mandala in Siegfried Hall.

Because of some thoughtful preplanning connections made by Eli Olin, the children received wonderful coloring books about the Buddhism from the event organizers. Our kids were so well-behaved and quiet during this field trip – eyes big as saucers while watching the monks create this sacred work. The monks really enjoyed having the children there too. When we got back to the fellowship, we ended up coloring in our books instead of doing the other planned activities.
