Congratulations to John and Carolyn on their engagement! Yesterday we shared a delicious cake for dessert. Lots of crafts were completed, including storms in bottles, decorated cakes, and books to celebrate the 500th anniversary of the first English translation of the New Testament. The worship section was full of fun and energy, and the Bible story was about Jesus calming the storm.
