On Sunday, October 9th, members of Holy Family’s Children’s Ministry and Youth Group programs held their first Kindness Rocks Walk. Kindness rocks are small rocks painted with characters or words of encouragement and hidden in public places for people to find and enjoy. Students painted their Kindness Rocks during the Sunday school kickoff carnival in September.
Participants met at the old train station in downtown Fishers and walked the Nickel Plate Trail that runs behind the church. They started with the Hiker’s Prayer, deposited Kindness Rocks along the trail, peeked through the treeline at Holy Family, then finished with a prayer for the community. For more information about activities at Holy Family for children and youth, please contact the program directors.

The Hiker’s Prayer
Thank you God for the rising sun.
You’ve granted me another day.
Your grace is amazing; bless you faithful Lord.
The creation sings your praise, and I join the sound.
Heal my tired soul; restore my aching bones.
Lead each step along my path today.
Ease my burdens as I press forward.
Quench my thirst with your living streams.
Like the cool morning breeze, your peace refreshes me.
Steady me on the slippery slopes.
Release me from the ropes that bind me, that hold me back.
Protect me from the viper that hides.
Lift me up from this shadowy valley.
The peak is almost in sight. I am rising above this world.
Into your country, I long to go.
Bless my companions who travel with me.
The trail is rugged and narrow, but you are right beside me.
Thank you God, my trusted Guide.
Glory to your holy name. Amen.
