Fun and Games @ Sparks

So much fun to be had and so little time to have it!  Holy Nativity was filled with the chaos of thirty 5-11 year olds for the latest of our Sparks Holiday Fundays! It is always fantastic to have so many kids enjoying themselves during the holidays. If you’re wondering what they were all painting, they are fridge magnets! As always, none of this would be possible without the support of all of the people who volunteer their time and…

So as people are together and chatted, toddlers toddled with…
