Despite a bit of rain, our carnival was a grand success!
                                         Many visitors made wonderful new memories with family
                                         and friends—enjoying great food, entertainment, and other
                                         fun activities. This is all possible thanks to our generous
                                         donors, and many people who put in tons of hours
                                         throughout the year. Thank you all!

                                             Welcome

                                                        The Courage to Forgive
                                                        The servant replied, "Your brother has come, and
                                                        your father has killed the fatted calf, because he has
                                                        got him back safe and sound." Then he became angry
                                                        and refused to go in. His father came out and began
                                                        to plead with him. (Luke 15:27–28)
