Invasion of the Earthy Tones

November 26 - It has been only a few weeks since the vibrant colors of autumn were bursting out. Now the brightness has turned into earthy tones. Beautiful yet different! By the way, much raking of leaves has taken place!

Compass Goes Classic - Week 4

Shellie hosting the Fowler Drive adoption table. Fowler Drive Elementary is one of the poorest schools in our city, with many children wearing worn out uniforms and not getting decent food to eat everyday. We have chosen Fowler Drive to partner with to help minister to the poor and needy in our city! Here we are sponsoring 47 kids/parents from Fowler Drive to provide them a Christmas they might not otherwise have!

Brianne & Mackenzie helped at the table.
