Mothers and children took a miniature voyage through history on July 2 during The Mariners’ Museum field trip. The Mariners’ Museum and Park is one of the largest maritime museums in the world. Nonetheless, it’s located just 10 minutes away from the Church of God in Newport News. Additionally, this is one of the Church of God’s “Mommy and Me” events. “Mommy and Me” is a series of events hosted by the Church to provide fun activities for mothers and their children to do together.
Sometimes it can be hard to find activities that are both entertaining and educational for the children, especially with a wide range of ages. However, there are more attractions than one may think for families to learn and grow together. God prepared many interesting activities in the world for us to experience. Maritime history just so happens to be one of them.
Several moms from Newport News and Virginia Beach participated in the field trip. Mothers and their children took a journey through time seeing many different ship models and artifacts from the past. The children were even able to climb through life-size models. They also witnessed the process of making smaller models. Furthermore, towards the end, they sat in a theater and watched a short film on wartime ships and their occupants. After exploring the whole museum, everyone gathered outside for an outdoor picnic. Mothers sat together with their kids eating and discussing their favorite exhibits.
The mothers and children couldn’t have asked for a better time. “Mommy and Me” events encourage all families to come together through the love that bonds them, that is, a mother’s love. In reality, this type of love comes from God the Mother, who, together with God the Father, created the spacious universe for the children of God to explore. To participate in fun and purposeful outings, geared towards children’s amusement and parent socializing, please contact us.
That’s awesome that the Church of God holds events like this! I would love to be there for the next event! The Church of God definitely feels like family. Thank God the Father and Mother!
That is truly amazing! The love that the church of God displays for parents and children is so phenomenal and definitely portrays the love of God the Father and God the Mother. Truly a church after Gods own heart that follows all of the teachings written in the bible! Way to Go Church of God!
I’m thankful I was able to attend such a beautiful field trip with my children. I never knew two 7 year old boys could be so excited over history but I was shown differently when exploring the museum. We enjoyed everything and the staff was extremely helpful. Mommi is me is such a special time because our little babies grow so fast but these moments will never be forgotten.
It is truly amazing to see the Church of God constantly promoting and encouraging parents to have good and healthy relationships with their children. Through this, the bond between parents and children become so much stronger. I hope all of the Churches of God in the entire world continue to display the true examples of what God teaches in the Bible. Keep up the great and magnificent work, Church of God!!!
It’s amazing. I can see there is beautiful harmony among the members of the Church of God just through the Church activity. It’s great to see the respect these children have for their parents.
I love this! You can tell that they are encouraging family within their church! So beautiful.
It’s so good for children to do things with their moms, whether it’s big or small. And, this is the same for heavenly children. Thanks to Heavenly Mother for being with us until the eternal home!
Wow!! It’s great to have fun and educational effect through this event. It’s beautiful to see Moms and their children get together and have a good time. Everything that has been done in WMSCOG is delightful and makes participants happy.
“Mommy and Me” Somtimes, I reflected my childhood over tea. Today, I miss my mother in cold weather.
