Sunday School Happenings NOVES Kindness Rocks Keep Spreading Love & Inspiration! I recently went to the beach on a family vacation. As the steward of the Sunday School's Kindness Rocks, I decided the beach location was a perfect place to scatter our positive thoughts for others to find. You may have seen the video shown at platform which was made by the National Kindness Rocks Founder, Megan Murphy. She explains in the video that the idea for this service project came to her during a contemplative walk on the beach. https://www.thekindnessrocksproject.com/origins/ As an unexpected bonus and a sign of how connected we really are to one another, a local told us there is an active Virginia Beach Kindness Rocks group #virginiabeachrocks . I am certain that our Northern Virginia rocks will have found good homes with a myriad of families visiting the Virginia beaches this Summer! Read my blog for more details on the NOVES Sunday School's Kindness Rocks Service Project. Navigator News
The NOVES NaviGATORS are Cardboard Boat Regatta champions!! On June 3rd, the Gator Crew took 1st Place in both the School/Scout Group Category and the 14 & Under Category. This 6 month project could not have happened without the creativity and teamwork of the scouts themselves, the financial and moral support of the NOVES congregation, the dedication of the Navigator parents and the expertise of our Captain, Kevin Castellucci.
