Saturday was filled with sugar, spice, and everything nice at our Gingerbread Extravaganza! 🏠✨

From prebuilt houses to a mountain of toppings, our families brought incredible creativity to the table—all while staying cozy with hot cocoa and cookies. ☕🍪

The best part? This event was inspired by a full-circle moment. During a Community Education Advisory Council meeting, Pastor Jim Bzoskie shared fond memories of attending a similar event here at Tilden when his children were young. We were honored to bring that tradition back to life!

We hope we made you proud, Pastor Jim, and that our participants walked away with "priceless" memories just like yours.
