FAMJAM this week
This month's Life App is Gratitude: letting others know you see how they've helped you.

Pause to think about everything God has done for you and your family - Refocus and Be Thankful Always.

Please remember Famjam is not the best environment for preschoolers. Carmel's Preschool Ministry provides an age appropriate learning environment for your kids. Take preschoolers to the preschool area, then come to the Uptown auditorium with your elementary school age kids.
