A very big thank you to the volunteers who donated, assembled and delivered the goods to make up Easter baskets. The loving baskets were then shared with children in local womens' shelters.

Mini Walk for Jesus

The children of the Early Education Center took up Jesus' cross today on a Cross Walk. The kids marched around the Center and then to the three crosses at the back of the property where they participated in a prayer with Pastor Paul, Ms. Nikkie and the other teachers.
