Our Banner Vandalized… Again

Sunday morning found our front yard banner– which proclaimed love for all– once again vandalized and cut down.  This will again be replaced, now for the 4th time.  We will not abandon hope or love in the face of hate.

Playground Renovation

The sanctuary isn’t the only thing getting renovated these days.  The playground in the center of the Enrichment Center is getting a redo, thanks to the generosity of a church family. The colorful hopscotch tiles and balance beams are installed. Watch for other playful items such as colorful multi step tiles representing the 7 Principles, and a climb and discover cave. There will also be benches. Two child-size rockers are being added to the Gore Hall porch to reflect that kids live here, too.
