CHURCH ON THE RIDGE KIDS' ZONE:
The Church on the Ridge Kids’ Zone will feature a number of inflatable attractions and other activities designed just for the little ones. The event offers fun for the whole family!

Refreshments will be for sale with the net proceeds received from the concession sales will go to AED – Asiana Education Development. AED’s goal is to empower the forgotten child. As you know Sri Lanka was struck but a devastating tsunami on December 26, 2004. There were so many children either orphaned or families left too poor to raise their own children. AED provides and educates these children. They now have reached over 80 schools across the country. They also have a sponsorship program where people can select a child to sponsor at $30 a month. This $30 provides education, medical care and food for these children. And it gives the child hope and love. More information can be found at www.asianaeducationdevelopment.org.
