New Year’s Resolutions 2020
The DRE New Year’s Resolution of 2019 was to post more photos on our church website. We had a strong first half of the year, and then photo posting dropped off. So for 2020, we renew the resolution to be better about posting photos. Here are a few from the second half of 2019. Soon there will be more up from the first month of 2020.

The Holidays in R.E. – 2017
We started off the holiday season with the hanging of the greens. The Joy Boys entertained us with holiday carols while the children got to work decorating the tree. (Photos by Corinne Mann)
We then had so much fun at our Simple Gifts Workshop, where the children made stockings and ornaments, hand towels and bath salts, perfume and bird feeders. It was inspiring put watching the kids put in so much careful effort to make a beautiful gift.
