YAY!!!! My momma has been

letting me stay outside for

a long time on these warm

days! I LOVE to roll in the

grass, chase squirrels (though momma says she hopes

I don't get one), and play. Now that Spring is here, I

can't wait to spend lots of time playing outside and

going on walks! Have a great day!

Woof!

Message from Rev. Lea

Please mark your calendars NOW for our Vacation Bible School! We will need everyone's help to make this a success for not only our children, but for the children in the community. Tiffany Rogers has graciously agreed to coordinate VBS, so please

let her know of your willingness. We are so excited to bring VBS back!!! Join the fun as we seek to share the Word of God in fun and hands on ways with our children. "Start children off on the way they should go, and even when they are old they will not turn from

it." Proverbs 22:6
