Special Homecoming Dance

Senior High – We have a unique opportunity to reach out to the special needs community on September 30th.  Here at the church there will be a Homecoming Dance.  If you’re available to attend you’ll experience something wonderful and amazing that will keep you returning year after year.  Arrive all dressed and spiffy at 5:45, so we can line the walks and welcome the attendees with claps and cheers as they arrive. Spend the evening visiting and dancing with some wonderful young adults.  They will have a great time, and so will you!  Friday, September 30, from 5:45 – 8:30.
