I would like to meet you

Hello All,
  I would love to get to know the EYC family.  I'd love to be able to be welcomed into your homes, and meet you and your families.  This would be a relaxed time of fellowship where I could better understand what you and your families need from our joint ministry.  It would also be a time to just get to know you.  Tuesdays, Fridays, and Saturdays would best for me, but my schedule is flexible.

Tuesdays at Panera canceled

Hello Friends,
 I'm sorry to announce that due to a lack of interest Tuesdays at Panera will be canceled for the rest of the year.

Thanks.
