Grace Infant Child Care Center Displaced During Construction
|
Thank you to everyone who is helping Grace respond to the damage to the church caused during the rain last weekend!
The staff at the Grace Infant Child Care Center have worked tirelessly to ensure that all the children were safe and well taken care of during the last week that their normal space has been out of commission. The little ones had a tea party on the communion rail, played legos in the stained glass window sills, and in the photo above are enjoying a nap. Although, we'd like to have more families and kids join us in our sanctuary on Sunday, we're didn't expect it would happen like this. A big thank you to everyone at Grace who has helped to fill out paperwork, schedule repairs, move furniture, keep the computer and electrical system up and running and all the thousands of tasks that have improved and cleaned up our building, while causing as few disruption to the families and infants as possible. |

I grew up in the Napa Valley, the daughter of a winemaker and a landscape gardener. My parents and twin brother now live in Ashland, OR. I came to the Bay Area to go Mills College where I studied English and I went on to get my M.F.A in Creative Writing from New York University. I have been a legal secretary for many years and I currently work at a progressive law firm in the city. I try to keep my creative side alive and write fiction and creative nonfiction.
I also practice a very cool Indonesian martial art at a great school in Oakland. I am very excited to become a part of the Grace family! |
