HCA December News: “Surprise” Visitors

There was quite a stir among the children when a jolly man in a red suit showed up to visit them last month. Santa listened carefully to everyone’s Christmas wishes and posed for pictures with every child.

The second visitor was a surprise to everyone when it crawled out of a wall in one of the classrooms. Yes, the academy was also visited last month by a harmless, yet curious, snake. HCA Director Lakisha Pride took prompt charge of its short visit, taking steps to insure no more surprise visitors of this ilk could gain entry. In addition, Palmetto Wildlife was called to do an inspection of the building.

As 2022 begins, HCA looks forward another year of providing quality child care, instruction, and fun.
The media team is in need of a few more volunteers. No experience needed. All training and support provided. Reserved seating guaranteed. To serve on media team all that a person needs to be able to do is sit in the booth, follow along with the service, and click the arrow on the keyboard to advance the slide at the appropriate time. The sound board is not that much more difficult. One only had to push the labeled button to queue the correct microphone. All are welcome and training will be provided. If you feel this is a ministry you would like to participate in, please see Lynda Clark, Mike McAllister, or any member of the media team.
