Our first service with Rev Lee was outstanding.  Among many other things, he told us very clearly that he was here to help us grow.  There are a couple of pictures on the photos page of our website of Rev. Lee during the welcome ceremony after the service.

There are also a couple of pictures on our website photos page of the Rainbow Room wall in God's Garden.  It was created and painted by Merilee Clarke, the God's Garden children and their parents over a 5 year period.  It is soon to be replaced with a new creation.
