Brad Stuart, Brian Allison, Natalie Brooke and Jimmie Bones shared their artistic talent in support of the kids. Maggie Varney, our Founder & CEO visited The Gathering House yesterday and was presented with a check for $3,002. We thank the songwriters, congregation, the Stuart family and all who came together to make this event a great success!
