We are hoping to start a special project for the end-of-the-year "gifts of thanks" that will relate to our Gems of Goodness and lessons from Moral Tales.
This spring we're organizing an on-line auction featuring a variety of goods, services, and events. It's a great chance to connect with Church friends and have some fun throughout the summer!
