FOR YOUR INFORMATION

Just wanted to send a big “Thank You” to everyone who has or is planning to provide goodies/treats for the AWANA kids! They love them (so do the adults)! FYI: Our last night of AWANA is scheduled to be April 27 where we are exploring the possibility of hosting a supper for the kids and their families. We will send details when they become available. We have approximately 35 kids that attend AWANA! It is such a wonderful program – we are having so much fun – and we are so thankful to everyone for their support and prayers!
