「今年，聖路易台灣人教會變成『驚羨大牧場』時，會是個趣味竄生的地方」英語牧師政之助牧師這樣說，「我們用英語進行的『驚羨牧場』活動將會提供6到12歲兒童們好玩又回憶無窮的聖經學習活動。每天他們會唱動聽、易記的歌曲，玩團隊合作的遊戲，品嚐牧場流動廚房食譜做出來的點心，接受『讓上帝的愛活在心中及家裡』的挑戰，體會令人振奮的聖經故事歷程、收集有助於記住經節、想到上帝的小玩物、製作一些可帶回家玩賞一夏的『聖經重點工藝品』。
這個驚羨大牧場是個讓小朋友學習「跟著上帝愛眾人」的有趣途徑。他們會跟北美洲上百萬小朋友一起進行一項關懷非洲孤兒的宣教活動。每天活動結束時會有影音綜合報導幫他們回顧如何活出他們所學的。歡迎家人與朋友帶孩子回家時，提早來參加這個下午4點鐘開始的特別節目。我們期盼這個驚羨大牧場活動促使每個人熱切關心在我們社區裡的上帝。這個活動是免費的。
「驚羨大牧場」從6月25日開始到29日，在台灣長老教會，542 Ries Road at Big Bend，舉行。每天從 1:20 p.m.到 4:30 p.m. 午間不方便處理小孩子午餐的話，可另外參加12:30 pm開始的簡便午餐，每人每餐2元。預知詳情，請打電話到314-469-6893, 或寫信到 email jzchen@pol.net洽詢。
Taiwanese Church Invites Children to Avalanche Ranch:A Wild Ride Through God's Word!"This year Taiwanese Church will be a stampede of excitement as we become Avalanche Ranch," says associate pastor, Rev. Wesley M. Cummins. "Our English-language Avalanche Ranch program will provide fun, memorable Bible-learning activities for kids from ages 6-12. Each day they will sing catchy songs, play teamwork-building games, nibble Chuck Wagon Chow, take on a Daily Challenge to let God's love grow into their hearts and homes, experience electrifying Bible adventures, collect Bible Memory Buddies to remind them of God's Word, and create Bible Point Crafts they'll take home and play with all summer long.""Avalanche Ranch is an exciting way for kids to learn more about God's love for all people. Kids will join nearly a million children in North America and take part in a hands-on missions project that will reach orphans in Africa. Each day concludes at Showtime Roundup-a celebration that gets all participants involved in living what they've learned. Family members and friends are encouraged to join us daily for this special time at 4:00 p.m.. We hope Avalanche Ranch will get everyone wild about God in our community. The program is absolutely free!"Avalanche Ranch begins on June 25 and continues through June 29. Meet at Taiwanese Church, 542 Ries Road at Big Bend each day from 1:20 p.m. until 4:30 p.m. If a mid-day meal is needed, an optional lunch will be available at the church beginning at 12:30 p.m. for $2 per day.
