We enjoyed singing, crafts, exploration, snacks and playground time, storytime, learning about bees, and listened in on a conversation between Noah (Pastor Scott), and God. We concluded with a picnic lunch and a fun show by Happy Dan which included magic and balloons.
On Friday,Oct. 28, 2022, St. Paul's held a Trunk or Treat event in our parking lot. We had lots of children from the church, our preschool, and Wildflower Daycare next door, and had a great time -- cute costumes, creative decorations, and lots of treats! What a wonderful evening! Plan to join us next year!
