Parent's Night Out!
Thank you to the volunteers for giving so generously of your time to a night of fun for our children.  Parent's Night Out could not happen without you! 
 
Also, thank you, church family, for all the overwhelmingly generous donations for the children's Christmas shopping experience.  The kids love to shop for Christmas and your donations make it possible. 
 
Thank you to the parents for sharing your little angels with us. 
 
Lastly, thanks to the children for being so well-behaved.  It was a pleasure spending a few hours with you.
