Crafts, the Bible, and a Small Church Passionate About Outreach
What a great idea it was to start each craft explanation by reading them something from my Bible!

A Joyful Experience
As a senior citizen working with these young people, it was a challenge to keep up and keep connecting. But God did it!

What a Wonderful Trip
