Place of Refuge

September 20, 2011
An Aim High mom told us that the only place
her daughter does not have severe anxiety issues is at gymnastics.
Glory to God for providing this child with a place of refuge!
The presence of the Lord...nothing compares!

Making a Difference!


Terrone and his mentor, Ronnie, carved a pumpkin a few weeks ago.

They do something together every Thursday night.

Terrone's mother says that every Monday morning
Terrone asks how long until it's "Ronnie Day."

God Made Me Special!

Good behavior deserves a reward!
Obeying the instructor and being a friend to one another
are required to receive a sucker after class.

Each class session closes in prayer.
After stating "God made me special," each student recieves his/her reward.
Zowie, Lei'lani, Elena, Nyomi, Layauna
They are special!
