Homecoming
Thank you to everyone who made Homecoming 2012 a great success.  The 40th Reunion of the Pioneer Class featured a powerful time of renewal and fellowship.  The Homecoming Dinner Celebration was entertaining.  The 5K Fun Run more than doubled the number of participants from last year, and the BBQ Competition was "heated," not to mention that the food tasted great!
