La Estrella  Resplandeciente ("The Shining Star") meets on Saturdays, 10:00am-1:00pm, in our church building in Stanhope.  We provide transportation to and from the church. We kick things off in the morning with a time of fellowship, prayer, praise and worship songs, and an interactive time of learning about people, stories, and lessons from the Bible.

After this we break into groups that usually divide their time among activities such as soccer, kickball, computer and board games, and art projects.  Our volunteers also provide other services like assistance with homework and ESL tutoring.

In the early afternoon we serve the children lunch, typically pizza and fruit drinks or another meal sponsored generously by a local church.

Throughout the year, and especially during the summer, we sponsor field trips for the children.  In the past we have attended local baseball games, visited museums and planetariums, and participated in local community social events.

We hope that you or your child will consider joining us soon!

*Fluency in Spanish is not necessary to volunteer!
