They are all children of Willie Stewart. Around 25 people attended, and they plan to get together again next year.

Special thanks to the following: Children’s Ministry Director Misti Stanley, Assistant Director Barbara Reynolds, Assistant Director Emma Reynolds and Ray Chapman for his amazing work on the backdrop. God bless them all.
