Stained Glass part 2 was a success! This week, the goal was to add color in between the window's black outlines to really complete their stained glass look. So many wonderful, colorful windows were completed last night!
Check some out for yourselves! More pics available on Facebook and Instagram.

Charmaine, our inflatable swan, was sent to us when we joined the SWAN consortium in 2018. For 8 years, she faithfully watched over the back office with her duck babies. Today, her head officially plopped over, signaling a well earned retirement.
Thank you for your service, Charmaine 💖🦢

39 years ago to the day, Emmit’s family attended a Christmas storytime, made this spider ornament, and started a tradition of placing it on their tree every year. They’ve also kept the storytime pamphlet & Christmas Spider story!
