Time for Spring Break!
Large groups of college students decided to spend their time at the Farm this March instead of sunny beaches. Spring Break at the Farm includes starlit bucket showers, review of the day serenades, games of frisbee or Flip 'Ems, late night games of Dragon Slayer (or Ninja), and amazing fellowship.
Along with all the fun at the Farm, the students spent part of the week out in the community. They worked on siding, insulation, a ramp, new linoleum, porches, underpinning, painting, and a little garden work.
Some new volunteers from University of Illinois-Chicago came for a prayer-filled week leading up to Easter. A few of those students from earlier in the month couldn't get enough of the Farm and came back for Holy Week at the end of the month as well. Of course a bunch of amazing past staff members came in throughout the week.
We washed each other's feet on Holy Thursday before delivering Easter Baskets and sharing a Seder Meal. On Good Friday we prayed the Stations of the Cross during a beautiful 10-mile hike in the mountains and venerated the cross at the Farm. Those who were left on Sunday morning hiked up to the rock before sunrise to greet the new day with shouts of joy and song.
