We enjoyed homemade chicken bacon ranch pizza with green beans on the side. As you can see from Dustin and Tori's smiles in the picture to the right, cooking is a favorite activity each week! The rest of the week has been filled with a little time outside, cleaning, organizing the greenhouse, doing some drawing, and even creating some acrostic poems using everyone's names. Check those out below! | | OUTREACH and MISSION OPPORTUNITIES | Ongoing Outreach/Mission Opportunity Coat & Clothing & More Drive

I was thirsty and you gave me a drink;
I was a stranger and you took me in;
I was naked and you clothed me;
I was sick and you visited me.
I was in prison and you came to me. .....When you did it to one of the least of these my brothers and sisters,
you were doing it to me. Matthew 25: 35-36, 40 ~ What can YOU do? | | LOCAL COMMUNITY NEWS/EVENTS | If you know of any interesting news or events,
