Shincheonji Church of Jesus’ Gwacheon Church held the ‘Let’s Play, Dad’ family picnic at Chomakgol Ecological Park in Gyeonggi Province on 23rd June.

Around 30 families participated in games including a treasure hunt, tag, and water balloon activities, giving fathers and children an opportunity to play and reconnect.

Na-yun Kim (7) said, “Dad always said he was tired, but today we ran around and played together, and I really liked it. Dad was like Superman.”

Se-jung Oh (38), whose wife has largely handled childcare due to his frequent business trips, said, “I think I was a dad who simply watched from a distance with a stern look in my eyes.” He added, “I feel like the wall that had built up between us has come down a little today as I spent time making eye contact and playing with my child.”

A Shincheonji Gwacheon Church official said, “Knowledge fades with time, but the warmth and laughter experienced while playing with one’s father during childhood remain in our memories for a long time.”

He added, “The busier you are, the more consciously you must make time to be with your family.”
