O give thanks to the Lord, for he is good;

October Highlights

What a great crew of Club 56 kids! We had a wonderful time bowling the afternoon away. Stay tuned for our next 5th & 6th grade adventure coming up in December or January!

Thanksgiving Blessing
Abundant Blessing
We thank you for the turkey,
The gravy and the dressing.
Dear Lord, this table overflows
With Thy abundant blessing.
Let us always be aware
That all gifts come from You,
And may we serve Your heavenly will
In everything we do.
Amen.
