I saw some of you at the recent park day, which was a fun afternoon. I'm thankful to see those who are interacting on the FB group page offering encouragement or answering questions from other parents. I appreciate your support of each other and being willing to share your experiences. That's what this community is designed to do! Also, remember that our chaplains, Kuna and Carol Griggs, are always available for encouragement, spiritual counsel, and advice when needed. Their contact info is: 901-482-9737 or kcgriggs2011@gmail.com.
