When your Youth Group has special plans to celebrate your graduation...just go with it!
The Graduate Kidnapping has returned for a final celebration with two of our Group. Covert planning with moms made it all possible to sneak up on these two and take them out for ice cream. A crazy surprise for two and a nice break from the crush of finals for the others. A night out with a group that will never be the same again.
Congratulations Jax and Zyan! We are super proud of you and can't wait to see what comes next for you! ❤️

Today, the BeTweens and their families got to meet the founder and CEO of Valerie's House and take a tour of the facilities, led by a BeTween who is also part of the Valerie's House family. To actually hear and see what Valerie's House does for those we care about made this project even more meaningful.
