It strives to teach kids important life lessons, while fostering a time of fun, growth and meaningful connections.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cA big part of implementing this program in Fredericton is the relationship building,\u201d said Lynette Brewer, Community Children\u2019s Ministry Leader for Fredericton. \u201cFamilies that attend are often newcomers to the country and they just want to get to know people and they want their children to make friends.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Children begin arriving around 4:30 p.m. for an evening filled with learning and fun. Activities kick off with gym play or craft sessions, followed by a leisurely dinner that emphasizes quality time among friends. After, more games ensue and a reflective Bible lesson is provided where kids are encouraged to share their insights. Each month has a theme for the lessons, and last month it was patience.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cWe all need to work on patience,\u201d shared Brewer with a smile. \u201cOrange lessons draw from the Bible\u2019s teachings and are extremely well done. The room is filled with laughter every week!\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>The program also strives to offer children unique experiences beyond their usual routine. Recently they held a \u2018birthday night\u2019 where they celebrated everyone\u2019s birthdays for the year. The festivities included a thrilling outing to Kingswood Entertainment Centre for laser tag, play climber, birthday cake, and pizza.<\/p>\n<p>Joylene, a mom of two boys in Orange, said her kids look forward to Tuesday so much.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cWe love it and are so thankful for this program,\u201d she shared.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>One boy in the program expressed a similar sentiment.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cOrange is my favourite part of the week,\u201d he said.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>To learn more about this program, please contact <a href=\"mailto:lynnette.brewer@salvationarmy.ca\">lynnette.brewer@salvationarmy.ca<\/a><\/p>\n<p>By: Josh Fischlin<\/p>\n<p><img class=\"alignnone wp-image-26436\" src=\"https:\/\/salvationarmy.ca\/atlantic\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2025\/02\/Orangepic4-225x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"387\" height=\"516\" \/> <img class=\"alignnone wp-image-26438\" src=\"https:\/\/salvationarmy.ca\/atlantic\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2025\/02\/orange-pic-1-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"388\" height=\"518\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Salvation Army\u2019s Fredericton Community Church is a space where kids come to play, share a meal, and learn lifelong lessons.
