I’m hopeful they will visit church some more in the days, weeks & months to come."

He’s exited and intrigued and wants to go to a service with us. It showed the real meaning of Christmas, the one that’s never mentioned, the birth of Jesus and the kids learned that is not only Santa Claus, there’s so much more. Thank you for the experience!!!"
