The Regional Youth Council hosted an overnight at the Oklahoma Zoo March 6-7.  Eighty-seven children, youth, and adults representing fifteen congregations attended and enjoyed learning about creation, seeing some of the animals during a night hike, some games, and a short closing story.  The Oklahoma City Zoo [@okczoo] staff, Rebecca and Anna, did a great job answering our questions and providing hospitality.

Pastor Eula Hledik tells a story at the end of the Zoo Snooze evening Friday night.

Saturday morning our group had the entire zoo to themselves from 8-9am and included a little walking worship and scripture reading designed by the Regional Youth Council.

We offer a BIG THANK YOU to the adults that attended with their groups and a BIG THANK YOU to parents and grandparents that attended with their children.  And, a BIG THANK YOU to the Commission for Children, Youth, and Young Adults for underwriting a portion of the cost for children and youth to attend from their budget.

There are exciting opportunities this spring, summer, and fall for Oklahoma Disciples to be Church locally and through the program ministries of the Region.  Our children and youth are the Church.  Not sure?  Watch them follow Jesus and enrich your journey in faith.
