THANK YOU:  to all the nursery workers and those individuals who support this ministry. Big shout outs to: Sandie Parrish for her consistent support for check-in and subbing on Sunday mornings and for supplying music and other miscellaneous needed items, Lee and Joan Dillon for the new and absolutely beautiful custom-made window curtains (as well as needed hardware) and for the laundry service, David Brown and Carl Baker who check in on this basement ministry, the many grandmoms (and granddads, too) who bring their grandchildren to be cared for and also work to care for our little charges, Pastor Aaron for taking on the challenge of the check-in system, Andrew Mouring for maintenance support and communication, and every worker who helps regularly and when we have Living Cross and Revivals. This ministry could not be what it is without every one of you! Additionally, the workers and children are enjoying the new flooring, and thank all who helped make that happen! If you would like to join this vibrant ministry, send me a text! Thank you, Anne-Marie Albaugh, 443-375-2078.
