 Other Stuff

Mandy King and Jennifer Guilliams are hard at work prepping for a preschool to open this fall at our Gardner Campus - Connection Community Church. There is currently a need for a Laptop computer that is wireless, has the current Windows operating system and Microsoft Office Suite. If someone is able to gift Connections Preschool with one - it would be a tremendous blessing.

Now you are in the know

Until next time...GOD BLESS
