Ricky reached out to us to see if we were interested in the piano and said he recently moved to a smaller home and just didn't have the space for it.

It was a packed house of family and friends of the Pre-K.

You may have noticed the plastic crates, cans and boxes of food stored in several places near the sanctuary. There were approx. 40 families were served and all the food was distributed on Saturday, November 22nd, 2025.
