Daily Family Devotion
Listen: Now we will turn our focus towards Holy Week hearing stories of Jesus’ final days on earth. Please listen to a reading from “Journey to the Cross” by Helen Haidle called “The journey begins”. This story is from Matthew 21:1-9; Mark 11: 1-11; Luke 19: 29-44; John 12:12-19
Respond: Why is it so important that Jesus came in peace? Talk about this with your family or write down your answer on a piece of paper or in a journal.
Prayer: Dear Lord,Thank you that you came in peace. We are grateful for your love that you show to us day after day. We pray that you continue to live in our hearts and rule in our lives. You are in control, and help us to remember that. We love you.
In Jesus Name, Amen

Outdoor Education: A note from Mr. Hoo
It's a beautiful day in Michigan. Spring is on it's way! We all have a happy, healthy opportunity to get outdoors with our kids and soak up the goodness of our Creator's wonder!
Yes, you are welcome to come as a family and wander the beautiful property at ACS. It's YOUR property.
Here's a few ideas:
OWL HUNT - There are 15 owls hiding along the 2.5 miles of trails. This won't be easy:) but they are all within eyesight from the trail. If you find one....take it with you. Mr. Hoo will reward you with a prize - Native arrowhead, flute or flint/steel firestarter.
MAPLE SYRUP - The Sugar Shack in the woods will be boiling sap every other day (until the sap stops flowing) until Spring Break. There are buckets in the Sugar Shack if your family wants to collect sap and put in the storage tank behind the Sugar Shack. Go for it!
TREASURE IN THE WOODS 2 - On this week of St. Paddies day the mysterious "Limerick Phantom" has left clues to a treasure.
The native village has the first clue
In the Iroquois dwelling it waits for you
A star will lead
That's all you'll need
And off you'll go to clue number two
GOATS - Frannie, Beau, Raindance, Joy......all due to have kids in the next 3 weeks. The goatcam is up in running again. Check it out once in a while to see if there are any new, adorable residents at ACS.......or pay them a visit. They love the love!
TRAILS - By the end of next week I'll be putting piles of wood chips at different parts of our trails.....with a wheelbarrow and pitchfork by each pile. We would love to have you come on out and spread some chips to help maintain our/YOUR beautiful trails. No need to let anyone know when you might come.....spur of the moment is just fine:)
Backyard adventures - Hope you're having these with your kids!
