We started the month of May by receiving a nice group of managers and members of the Board of Directors of a Credit Union we have worked with since 2009.

During the early years in the Boys’ Club, he learned Biblical principals, enjoyed excursions around the country…
It was fun to see one of the ladies from Bible study (and her son who is a Boys’ club member). We delivered the planter she won in our recent raffle. It came with flowers for her birthday! God picked her name out of the basket. God shows His love in special ways! 🥰🥰🥳🥳
