EMBRACE ENTRIES FOR MARCH 2024
March was our month to recognize the children who have their birthday in the months of January, February and March. For most, it will be the only recognition of this milestone in their lives. We sing to them, give each a small toy, pray over them, give a coupon to those who have an active […]
EMBRACE UPDATE FOR FEBRUARY 2024
February was our second “Health Month”; where we really focus on how the children are doing in their health and trying to detect if there are any issues that need to be addressed.
