“Like arrows in the hands of a warrior are children born in one’s youth” Psalm 127:4 (NIV).
Children are fabulous blessings beloved by everyone. However, that doesn’t mean they aren’t exhausting from time to time. It also doesn’t mean that, every once in a while, Mom and Dad don’t need to spend a night alone. Journey Church in Mayo is aware of this and is offering just that opportunity.
“Looking for a special way to celebrate Valentine’s Day without kids?” Journey Church said in a Facebook post. “Journey Church has got you covered.” On Friday, Feb. 14, Journey Church is offering childcare from 5 p.m. until 9 p.m. so parents can enjoy an “uninterrupted night out (or a cozy night in).” The four-hour time slot is open for any children from newborns up to 11 year olds. The kids will enjoy meals, snacks and a plethora of fun activities. The service is free of charge and open to any family within 40 miles of Mayo. However, due to limited space, a spot must be reserved by Monday, Feb. 10. To reserve your spot, visit the Journey Church – Mayo Florida Facebook page and locate the form attached to the post. “Don’t miss out on this wonderful opportunity to relax and enjoy Valentine’s date night, kid-free.”
