Merry Christmas-

I just wanted to take a moment of your time to tell you how amazing you are and to Thank you for your support of the Early Childhood Center. Without your support, we would not be able to teach the children about Jesus and the faith; and in turn teach their parents. This has been a challenging year with COVID, we had no idea how it would affect the Center. We had to close our doors from the end of March thru May and by the grace of God, we were able to reopen with a staff that stuck with us.

The gifts from the congregation have been enormous. We were given a new washer and dryer unit after ours failed. This might seem small but when you do laundry daily and many loads a day (little people are dirty!), it is a necessity! We are also blessed to be able to share the new multi passenger van with the Church. This is an amazing gift to our afterschool kids, who’s first comments were: “the seats are so soft” and “it smells so good in here”. The teachers are thankful that they don’t need to climb over the passenger seat anymore to get to the driver seat.

We have been so blessed to have congregation members willing to help us out while we were short staffed; purchase food so the kids have meals and snacks; donate art supplies, blankets, furniture, toys, their time and so many more things! We are so blessed to be part of this amazing family.

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts,

Katie Andreasen, Early Childhood Center Director and Dana Reiprich, Board Chairperson

AND

All the Staff, Students and Board Members
