Emily explained to the children
that no one asks to be abused but it
happens everywhere and that there
are places to go to for help like the
Huron County’s Women’s Shelter.
Brett Glousher carried the candle
for the children.
The scripture reading was from
Exodus 20:5. Psalm 78 followed by
Matthew 25: 34-46.
Emily’s message to the adults was
Children Learn What They Live.
In Sunday school they are learning
to care for others. They collected
dimes for tsunami victims, collected
money for goats for their penpals in
Uganda and are collecting socks for
the women’s shelter.
