Have you ever stopped to consider the snow? Of course, not many of us, enjoy terms like “blizzard like conditions”. We don’t like to be unsafe when we have to drive in it, it’s no fun at all to shovel the driveway, and no one likes to pay for higher heating bills when it gets colder; but isn’t snow beautiful to look at?
CEF’s ministry calendar run from September 1st-August 31st, so that Good News Club ministries and all of summer ministries can be viewed on one report.
