Hello Friends,
It was too good to see so many families and children this weekend! I look forward to seeing you all at church as often as you can be in attendance. We do have some more "Blessing of the Backpack" tags on order. Let me know if your family still needs a tag. Also, a quick reminder that our Food Packing Mission to support Haiti takes place in just 10 days sign up to help support using the link below. Have a great week!

Serving beside you,
Erin Soza, Director of Children's Ministries
