PRESCHOOL Christmas Store OpenS

A variety of handcrafted items and homemade baked goods will be available for purchase this Sunday at the annual Christmas Store, located in the preschool area and put on by the Childcare Ministry. The proceeds will benefit Hope for Kids, a child sponsorship program in Haiti. So be sure to stop by, check out the crafts, and take a few home with you!
