Thank You Lord Of Life Youth!

On Wednesday of this last week, Lord Of Life Lutheran sent some of their kids involved in a program called Summer Stretch to Gethsemane to do service for the sake of God‘s people in our neighborhood. Thank you so much kids for your participation! It is great to be in partnership together.

Congratulations

Ms. Dorothy!

Friday marked a memorable occasion as we gathered to celebrate the retirement of Ms. Dorothy, a cornerstone of our community. The air was filled with laughter and joy as friends, colleagues, and neighbors joined together to honor her decades of hard work.
