We take this Sunday to celebrate the wonderful animals in our lives. On the first Sunday of March, we gather after church on the campus of Rice University to fly kites, picnic and enjoy the wonderful spring weather. Social Action Easter Activities. On Easter we gather eggs and collect canned goods for the Emergency Aid Coalition. Usually a parade of families with wagons, signs, noisemakers and silly hats marches down the street to the EAC to deliver our goods.
Every year is a little different.
