How the Young Writers Adventure Works
Children in Kindergarten through 9th grade are invited to write a short “Then vs. Now” faith story. Seniors at Peach Tree Retirement Center will personally read every single entry with care and joy.
Every child who participates receives:
- A free goodie bag
- A special Mother’s Day gift to give to Mom or a mother-figure
Selected stories will be celebrated at 2:00 PM during the bazaar.
Beautiful Faith & Values Prompts Created by the Seniors
Kids can choose from these inspiring prompts:
- Being a Giant Slayer: David Then vs. Courage in Our Lives Now
- Armor of God: What It Meant Then vs. How We Put It On Today
- Bible Stories Kids Loved Then vs. Now
- Heroes of Faith: Bible Characters Then vs. People Living Out Faith Now
Why This Is One of the Best Mother’s Day Activities for Kids in Yakima
This activity is perfect for families because it gives kids the chance to:
- Use their creativity and writing skills
- Share their faith in a safe, encouraging environment
- Connect with wise seniors and learn from their stories

The whole event takes place at the Pages & Petals Mother’s Day Bazaar and Family Friendly Adventure in Yakima — a warm, welcoming day filled with music, pancakes, hot dogs, boba drinks, DIY crafts from vendors like Testify Swag and Whispa’ah Vault, Garden on the Go, and more.
