There’s never a dull moment in our Preschool and After School programming! Each week is filled with laughter, creativity, and community, and we are so grateful for the many hands and hearts that help make this ministry a place of joy and growth for our children.
Russell Birch spending time with the kids
We want to give a special thank-you to Russell Birch, who volunteers his time each week to be with the kids. His consistent presence and gentle spirit have become a cherished part of our routine, and the children absolutely light up when he walks through the door.
Elaine Jacone helping children sew bunnies over Spring Break
During Spring Break, we had a special treat when Elaine Jacone brought her creativity and kindness into the classroom. She guided the children through a fun and hands-on activity sewing their very own bunnies. What a wonderful memory for everyone involved!
We’re also incredibly grateful to the behind-the-scenes angels who regularly drop off calendars, stickers, and paper. These simple gifts go a long way in our classroom. The kids love using them to play school and office, sparking imaginative play and joyful collaboration.
Tony and Debbie Perona with their grandchildren serving in the feeding ministry
Another heartfelt thanks goes to Tony and Debbie Perona, who bring their grandchildren in every chance they can to serve in our feeding ministry. What a beautiful legacy of service and compassion they are passing down to the next generation!
We are continually blessed by the generosity, creativity, and love that surrounds our children. Thank you to everyone who pours into this ministry—you are making a difference in ways both big and small!
