MANY THANKS TO KIM JONES FOR ARRANGING THE EPIPHANY PARTY

The fourth annual Epiphany party was celebrated last Sunday.  The Epiphany cake was delicious and the pinata was huge and loaded with candy.  Selecting gifts for each child and wrapping them for the Sunday School children and arranging for the party is a huge task that takes many weeks of preparation.  Thanks Kim!
