We won’t be able to gather in person, but the fun can continue at home!

Our volunteers are developing fun activities, games and fun meetings over zoom with music, dance and more! We are going to PREVIEW the Rocky Railway this year - so next year it will be even more fun in person next year and can help lead us in song and dance and understanding of God’s word!
