As we wrap up a very full week hosting families in our basement, we want to take a moment to say thank you. With so many little kids and so many moving pieces, it was a week that asked a lot, and our church showed up. Thank you to everyone who helped by staying overnight, cooking meals, caring for kids, or donating resources. Your presence made our guests feel not just sheltered, but truly welcomed and cared for.

We especially want to thank Sarah and Kyle Page, Mary Johnson, Delores and Gary Peterson, Steve and Darlene Mawdsley, Sue Crothers, Debra Dawes, Daryle Ryder, Barbara Hopkins, Jan Taylor, Ted Envela, Rachel Alexander, Luanne Boise, Jane Elam, Teddi Johnnie, Tim Nissen, and Michael Lamb for the ways you showed up this week.

A special thank you to the Hopkins family for providing Easter baskets for each of the children when they arrived on Easter evening. It was such a meaningful and joyful way to welcome them.

This is what it looks like to be the church. Thank you for being part of it.
