September brought many blessings and excitement for fall and the new school year!

• We kicked things off by taking a tour of the Kid's Ministry Rooms, by making cards for the OSLC shut-ins and our neighbors at Cedar Creek Senior Living and then having a picnic with our church family.

• We started fall programming on Sunday mornings and confirmation on Wednesday nights. Eating fun foods, making crafts, doing the church clap and playing games, all while learning about Jesus!

We also said farewell and sent good wishes for new adventures to Leisha. We appreciate all the love she poured into our programs and lives. Although goodbyes bring a mix of emotions for everyone, we are so excited for all that this year will bring! ❤️
