THANK YOU  to everyone who helped with renovating the “old library” into our new nursery!  We appreciate everyone who donated their time and effort to this project.  Thanks to those who helped with the construction of it whether it was flooring and shelving to picking out colors and painting, donating new toys, cleaning current toys, helping move, etc.  It turned out GREAT and we are so grateful to have the nursery so easily accessible now on the main floor of our church.    The Nursery Committee
