First United has concluded its Adventure Week, a weeklong event filled with activities for children. The event, which took place June 19-23, offered arts and crafts, Bible stories, music, games and science experiments. Over 110 kids attended.

Adventure Week had a focus on giving, and the kids raised over $1,500 to support the Ormond Beach Police Department’s community outreach program for car seats. Many contributed their allowances.

“This community’s dedication to helping others is truly inspiring,” said Caitlin Bookwalter, the director of family ministries at First United. “The funds raised will go a long way in ensuring the safety and well-being of children in our community, and we are proud to have made a positive impact together.” 

The event was made possible by 75 adult volunteers and 32 youth volunteers.

“Their tireless efforts and enthusiasm made Adventure Week a truly memorable experience for all the children involved,” Bookwalter said.
