OUR PRESCHOOL LEARNING CENTER is having their Annual Trick-or-Treating for the preschoolers at the church on October 29 and 30. We would love to have the church members to participate by setting up areas within the church for the preschoolers to pick up a treat or to do an activity (Please note that some of our kids have peanut and garlic allergies). We will also accept treat donations to help make this a fun and memorable day for our kids. If you are interested in volunteering or donating, please contact Robin or Terry at 270-843-4707 to be added to the signup sheet. Thank you in advance. -Kimberly Watkins, PLC Director.
