We want to say a HUGE thank you to everyone in the congregation who contributed in some way to the back to school carnival. Whether you worked in the kitchen and provided food, volunteered and helped with the games/prizes, or generously donated prizes; we couldn’t have successfully operated the carnival without all of you! We had a total of a little over 75 children, plus their families, attend the carnival; it was an amazing outreach into our community. Thank you! ~ Children's Nurture Ministry
